Title:
  Keyboard shortcuts for lenses should be customizable in System
  Settings

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

Bug description:
  The keyboard shortcuts for opening the Unity dash to a specific lens
  should be customizable in System Settings>Keyboard>Shortcuts. This is
  useful for tweakers or for those who just want to see a list of what
  keyboard shortcuts are available (*discoverability*) [1]. Also, as we
  get more and more custom lenses, it's nearly unavoidable that multiple
  third-party lenses will try to use the same shortcut; the user should
  be able to manually fix that if desired.

  [1] Yes, there's the keyboard shortcut overlay but there won't be
  enough room for all shortcuts to be listed. Also, currently the
  overlay doesn't do high contrast so the System Settings view would be
  better for those who need high contrast.

  What we don't want is people needing to edit system files and have
  those changes lost whenever there are updates to that Unity lens.

  shortcuts-unity-lenses

  This can be done by adding the appropriate .xml to /usr/share/gnome-
  control-center/keybindings/ GNOME Shell puts their extra shortcuts
  (like 'Show the Message Tray') in the System category. And then the
  Unity lens specification would need to be updated so that developers
  use that method for keyboard shortcuts instead of the
  /usr/share/unity/lenses Shortcut= syntax.
