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).
