Thanks! Just committed to the trunk.

Just added to the bundle a prototype of 'Show Unicode Properties'

Yes. This was a bad key combo. I changed it temporally to CTRL+OPT 
+APPLE+U

BTW: Can Python handle Unicode codepoints which are specified in  
Unicode pane B, meaning greater U+FFFF? I tried it out. I found out  
that Python uses UTF-16 internally.
But e.g. UCS hex: 20000 ; UTF-16: D840 DC00 .
I can print that character to TM but unicodedata fails because it  
expects one character but not two (?)

Servus,
