Title:
  Super+S shortcut description does not explain its purpose

Status in Unity:
  Confirmed
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  As the titles says. If you open the Keyboard Shortcuts Overlay
  (holding Super), the description for Super+S reads "Switches between
  workspaces." Though what this key combination really does, is to open
  the workspace switcher (or "expands" the workspaces, as you prefer).

  I consider this is a ui bug, since the description doesn't really
  explain the purpose of Super+S. Imagine a user trying to switch
  workspaces by pressing Super+S over and over, until she realizes the
  right combination is "Ctrl+Alt+Arrow" or until she realizes that this
  works by pointing the mouse on the desired workspace. This extends to
  translations too (I noticed it while doing translations).

  I propose this description be changed to "Opens the workspaces
  switcher." or "Shows the workspaces in a grid.", or something more
  descriptive than the current "Switches between workspaces." (Notice
  that the pointer feature could be documented somewhere else as an
  extra, but the point to be made is the inmediate thing the user sees
  when pressing Super+S.)

  *What is expected*
  That the description of every key combination be descriptive to that key combination.

  *What happens*
  The description of Super+S is not descriptive to its related action (at least not in the desktop version).
