The Panorama keyboard shortcut on Mac OS X (option-space) doesn't work (pressing it doesn't activate Panorama) in some keyboard layouts, specifically (in my case) Colemak. I'm using the .keylayout from <http://colemak.com/Mac>. Changing the layout back to en-US makes the shortcut work again.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Set keyboard layout in Mac OS X to Colemak official .keylayout.
2. Attempt to activate Panorama with option-space.
Actual Results:  
Panorama does not activate. 

Expected Results:  
Panorama should activate.

No other keyboard shortcuts seem to be affected by this, I've been using Colemak and Firefox/Minefield for quite a while. I've also tried some layouts provided with the OS (such as Dvorak) and they don't seem to suffer from this problem either.

Related, in some way, to bug #439815?

I believe now that the keyboard shortcut has been changed in bug 592183, this is no longer a valid bug. Please confirm that you can now use the keyboard shortcut.

Yes, the keyboard shortcut is now working. Hooray!
