I've never used a Lenovo keyboard, but if it's like any other keyboard it depends where you're from (or more specifically which locale your keyboard is set up for).
If it's not as simple as pressing Shift+6, it might be that the ^ is a 'dead key', which typically requires pressing AtlGr (the right Alt Key) and the key with the caret, releasing both and then pressing space.

switchconf
switchconf(8) System Manager's Manual switchconf(8)
NAME
switchconf - Change system configuration to one of many predefined
SYNOPSIS
switchconf [ -list | config_scheme ]
DESCRIPTION
switchconf is a command line tool that helps nomad laptop users to easily change their configuration.
OPTIONS
switchconf takes only one argument. If this argument is -list, a list of all known configuration schemes is returned (found in
$conf_top_dirs). If the argument is a configuration scheme, this configuration will be installed on the laptop.
CONFIGURATION FILE
The configuration file (/etc/switchconf/conf) is simple. The following entries are defined:
conf_top_dirs
This specify where are located the configurations schemes.
dest_dir
This specify in which top directory you want to install the new configuration. This option is pretty useful if you want to debug
your configuration without overwritting the actual one.
exec_dir_before, exec_dir_after
This specify the name of the exec directory : all files included will be executed before or after configuration changes
run_parts
This specify the path to the run-parts command, that is used to execute the scripts. Leave it empty to use the internal implementa-
tion of run-parts.
config_method
This specify the method to use to copy the configuration files, to their places: softlink, hardlink, copy
/etc/switchconf/conf should be written so it is parsable as a shell script - There should be no spaces between the variable name and its
value.
SCHEMES
You should create a directory for each configuration scheme you define, including all the files it should set in the system. Inside
/etc/switchconf the directories you should create the files including the full path (i.e., /etc/switchconf/home/etc/network/interfaces for
/etc/network/interfaces).
No scheme should be named as either the exec_dir_before or the exec_dir_after, unless the conf_top_dirs is moved out of its default direc-
tory, /etc/switchconf.
Although it is not really necessary, you should probably ensure that all the files existing in one of the schemes exist on every other
scheme, in order to ensure you do not end up in a hybrid state.
FILES
/etc/switchconf/conf
Configuration file.
/var/lib/misc/switchconf.lastcfg
Memory file, has the name of the current active scheme
BUGS
Actually no bugs are reported.
