There is an effect enabling you to draw lines onto your screen with your mouse. You can specify the keys for removing the last line (Meta+Shift+F11) and for removing all of them (Meta+Shift+F12) but you cannot specify the key combination you need to press for enabling your mouse to draw. It is only said “Draw by pressing Meta+Shift and moving your mouse”. It should be configurable.
(But otherwise, isn‘t there a “glitch” in Qt‘s shortcut detection that it cannot detect shortcuts that consist entirely of modifiers? So this may be the cause it is hardcoded.)

Reproducible: Didn't try
