    It appears that lens package is installing using a pre-existing shortcut, a, why I don't know. (a bug should be filed, at least for 12.04

    To check & edit, make sure you use something not in use, here I used l 

    sudo -H gedit /usr/share/unity/lenses/recoll/recoll.lens

    change Shortcut=a to a letter of your choice

    Noting again that this is what I found on 12.04
