As the patch description suggests.  Thanks for confirming.

It might be somewhere else, in theory.  Seems not to be the case for the
russian layout though.

On a german keyboard shift-3 is '§', and the number sign is somewhere
else.  So I can get '#' with both 'us' and 'de' layouts, but I have to
use different keys ...
