Comment (by Ken Truesdale <kentruesdale@…>):
I thought it was just me until I recently did some deeper testing. I
discovered that when I entered a keybinding such as a "+" key, the key
that showed on the screen was "Shift++" meaning it knew I was holding down
the shift key and that I generated a "+" and it put them together. To me
that was always redundant terminology - on my small keyboard, I can't get
a "+" without the shift key, so yeah, shift key, whatever. And I was
always frustrated that keys like this didn't work. But I now realize the
redundancy of the "shift" is the crux of the problem. Because I modified
the database directly to change the keybinding from "Shift++" to simply
"+" and it works fine. Therefore, I think the issue is in the front end,
when it captures the keybinding, it seems to be working a little too hard
to figure out what the user did - it should simply accept the key that it
got.
