no pound sign on uk layout #285

As above really, on the 3 button there is no pound sign but if you long press 
our use shift it comes up, must just be a missing graphic but looks odd.

This is a side effect of how the alternate symbols get drawn on the keys. The 
code automatically assigns symbols based on the key mappings instead of 
explicitly specifying "draw a pound sign on this key", since that's more 
maintainable considering the many supported layouts.

There's a setting controlling how alternate characters get drawn. If you set 
"Labeled alternate keys" to "Show all hint labels", you should see the pound 
sign. By default it just shows 7-bit ASCII punctuation, and that doesn't 
include the pound sign.

If you feel very strongly about the issue let me know - in the planned 
customizable key maps, I'm planning to add support for user-specified labels 
since then I don't have to support all the variants :-)
