[Bug 830709] Re: Unity should also use Super-L to lock screen by default

       Status: New => Fix Committed

** Tags removed: needs-design
** Tags added: udo

** Description changed:

  Many of Unity's bindings use Super, including 'Show Desktop' which used
  to use Ctrl-Alt-D. Lock screen however, has remained with Ctrl-Alt-L.
  Super-L should be added to (not replace) the existing keybinding by
  default.
  
  This would also be familiar for users switching from a well-known OS.

+ ---------------------------------------
+ Desired solution:
+ - Add Super-L keyboard shortcut to lock screen
+ - Leave the existing Ctrl-Alt-L keyboard shortcut in place as an alternative
