Comment (by axeld):

 The small things usually are hard to get right :-)

 Whatever solution is chosen, it has to work with different keyboards
 attached to the system at a time. If you have a Mac keyboard attached to a
 PC laptop, which symbols are you planning to show?

 Since this is about shortcuts, anyway, I don't think there is much wrong
 with the key roles; it's pretty easy to grasp, and use, without having a
 look at the Keymap application first. While I wouldn't mind if it all
 magically worked flawlessly, having to configure this manually is rather
 awkward, too.

 Having said all that, I find the key role approach the most convincing
 solution so far. Simple, and not over-engineered, and it will work
 flawlessly in every environment (even when François finishes his Atari and
 Amiga ports ;-)).
