The shortcut Super + P is conflicting with the Video out hotkey

Waiting for design input on a new hotkey for the lens. I suggest using Super+C for Camera.

When I press Fn-F8, which is the external display toggle hotkey, on a Dell laptop with the photo lens installed, the photo lens will be opened. Photo lens is also a default install for Quantal.

Super+p is the only way to tell Windows 8 to switch to external display. So it's expected that the hotkey on all laptops released with Windows 8 sends out the same Super+p. This is a conflict to the design of BIOS for all Windows 8 computers.

When unity-lens-photo package is removed, Fn-F8 will become a "p" key (since super key is consumed by Unity). Extern display hot key is still an issue for Quantal, but this is another bug in compiz/unity (bug 741869 and bug 950160)

Added the shopping lens because it also sets the shortcut to P....

The shopping lens issue should be fixed by removing the shortcut (bug 1058604).

The problem with the photo lens still needs to be addressed.

I agree with David Calle's idea (see above) of using Super+C

I think we can update the documentation by downloading all the .po's, doing a sed replace on them and checking the results carefully. If so, this shouldn't impact the translation teams.

The Ubuntu Manual also is nearly frozen but I didn't see these keyboard shortcuts mentioned in my quick check of their content.

I'm not completely convinced this is the right choice as it breaks consistency:
* Currently all of the lenses are arranged alphabetically, at least in English.
* And currently all of the keyboard shortcuts match the first letter of the lens name.
* "Photo lens" or "pictures lens" sounds better than "camera lens"
* If we were to change the lens name, then we would probably want to update the source package and project names to match, but I guess we won't be changing the lens name.

On the other hand, consistency with Windows is good too.

I guess I'll give it a +1 and I can make the change when I do the ubuntu-docs upload in a few days.

Also, as Translations Freeze is next Tuesday, we are at the absolutely last possible minute for making UI changes, tweaks, or bugfixes.

It does affect translations, but I think this is a feature change that
shouldn't be blocking on them and the decision should be made by a more
relevant team (Desktop perhaps?).

So +1 for translations, but please apply it asap if it is approved and
the shortcut changes, so it can be translated on time.

Cheers,
David.
