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

[Dmitrijs Ledkovs]

While a cosmetic changed, it would be nice to have quantal SRU as well.
Ideally I'd wish to see this fixed in Gtk upstream as well, and not carry this as a distro patch forever.
I do wonder how this got lost in translation though =)

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.
