Custom keyboard shortcuts containing <Shift> get displayed incorrectly #559

What Happened?

When setting a custom keyboard shortcut that contains the <Shift> key then the combo gets displayed incorrectly, i.e. instead of <Shift>key it is <Shift>KEY which is confusing for any keys other than a-z.

E.g. with a German keyboard layout instead of <Super><Shift>1 it displays <Super><Shift>!.

Edit: Note that the key combo works correctly though, i.e. it is rather a cosmetic issue.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Open System Settings app.
  2. Go to Keyboard -> Shortcuts.
  3. Configure any custom shortcut containing <Shift> and a number 0-9, e.g. override the existing default combo <Super><Shift>1 for Workspace -> Switch to Workspace 1 with the exact same combo.
  4. Does not show <Super><Shift>1 but <Super><Shift>! (on German keyboard layout where <Shift>1=!).

Expected Behavior

Shown key combo should not show the "upper case" symbol.
