Yep, sorry -- I honestly had no idea where to look for the "right" tree.

Great.

To clear up an earlier point: AFAIK the new MBAs have the same keyboard
layout as normal MacBooks and hence uses the same table. An earlier
patch that was floating around added another table for the new MBAs but
if you looked at the mappings it was the exact same table as the normal
MacBook one.
