Comment (by axeld):
The small things usually are hard to get right :-)
Whatever solution is chosen, it has to work with different keyboards
attached to the system at a time. If you have a Mac keyboard attached to a
PC laptop, which symbols are you planning to show?
Since this is about shortcuts, anyway, I don't think there is much wrong
with the key roles; it's pretty easy to grasp, and use, without having a
look at the Keymap application first. While I wouldn't mind if it all
magically worked flawlessly, having to configure this manually is rather
awkward, too.
Having said all that, I find the key role approach the most convincing
solution so far. Simple, and not over-engineered, and it will work
flawlessly in every environment (even when François finishes his Atari and
Amiga ports ;-)).
