Y and Z Keys are switched in 3D View I use both, a German and a UK keyboard layout. When I use the German layout the Y and Z Keys appear swapped in the 3D View and behave like in the UK layout. Inside text entry fields however the layouts behave as expected.

I use 2.78c on Ubuntu 17.10

Is this a bug, or a feature to ensure shortcut consistency? I find it quite confusing, that I have to mentally swap the Y and Z axes with the German layout.
I had this same problem! originally I thought it had something to do with me pressing Ctrl+I or something like that, but I later realized I had changed the keyboard from English to German. Once I switched it back everything was fine again.
