[Bug 1160379] Re: 'Dead circumflex' in Unity keyboard combinations

[Ritesh Khadgaray]

Hi @xnox

* I have filled a bz upstream for this, and awaiting action.

* Proposed patch for quantal attached. Personally, I believe precise
(LTS) and raring should be our goal to minimize the patchset/qa  effort.

Thanks

Bug description:
  [Impact]

   Unity keyboard shortcuts hint window lists  "Dead circumflex"  for
  "Switches window of current applications" under "Switching" , instead
  of "^" when using german keyboard. This is confusing .

  In English, this is properly mapped to "`" so this appears to have
  lost a translation somewhere. Might be better to map it to "^" in the
  language pack as the German layout has:

  
  - http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zirkumflex
  - http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Datei:Laptop_Tastatur.jpg

  [Test Case]

   * Switching to german keyboard 
   * Hold Super key down, until unity shortcuts are seen

  [Regression Potential] 
   
   * I dont see any regression potential 

  [Other Info]
   
  Version affected: 12.04 LTS / unity 5.18.0-0ubuntu1.
