so not sure what your issue is. Yeah it doesnt work in all text fields, but that would be true regardless what shortcut is used.

I dont know what ctrl+shift+u on your linux box is doing, it doesnt do anything on mine. I am guessing it is triggerring a unicde char picker via IME. IME may or may not work with Qt depends on plugin versions/ABI compatibility, display backend, etc.
The problem is that if you are trying to search, you cannot type 2014 and then alt-x (that is an em-dash). Can you enable alt-x to work in the search/replace dialog?
