This situation is very unfortunate for people using applications which need Alt+^ because it cannot be switched off (as far as I can see). I use Emacs, where Alt+^ is an important functionality. Besides, Alt+^ is of little help on small keyboards with Fn key.
So please make the Unity keybinding configurable. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/871931 Title: "ALT + circumflex" can be set in the keybinding settings and conflict with unity Status in Unity: New Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Ubuntu 11.10 "ALT + circumflex" can be mapped in the keyboard settings despite being reserved for the new ALT + tab extended functionality, making it execute two functions at once with severe side effects (GUI freeze, but keys are still responsive -> key smashing during freeze results in possible destruction of user data).
