Thanks for the verification.

I say bug because it is, according to the Edit/Keyboard Shortcuts
menu/ +View dialog, already assigned.  

How the mapping is done would depend on where in the stack one did it.
I could see a case for doing it either way.

Gimp has an interesting issue for shortcuts, I think (I'm not familiar 
with the code)  Chars/keycodes are not mapped the same all the time.  
You want normal characters, such as @, when entering text; but the rest 
of the time you want it to be a shortcut.  Which means it has to be 
mapped in two different ways depending on the state.  It obviously does 
it correctly / according to the docs/interface for some characters, but 
not others.
