recall, Play is Ctrl-Shift-P. I think the keyboard editor recognizes (and
stores) the shift as part of the keycode, but when you go to use it, the
shift get stripped (in the playback window at least) so it isn't matched.
The solution to that is to use MythWeb to remove the +Shift part of the
keycode.
