Global Multimedia Hotkeys work as "m" key using a translation

I wanted to assign multimedia keys of my computer: Inline Image Attachment as global hotkeys. The problem is, as soon as I assigned them and restarted VLC, nothing happens when I push it, but pushing the "m" keys makes the set action to happen, which is quite annoying because I can't write any "m" :D

However, everything appears to work setting the keys using the American translation, so I think this bug is translation-related.

Indeed, in the interface, if the key name is in English, it works correctly whereas, if it is set and, as a consequence, written in French (or probably another translation, I didn't try it), it doesn't work correctly.

I don't know if everything is clear, but I hope is is and, by the way, if it isn't, feel free to ask for more details :)
