Screenshot of incorrect binding

SUMMARY
Binding Meta+Shift+1 no longer binds to Meta+!. It now binds to Meta+Shift+!. This is an impossible key combination to press.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Try to bind Meta+Shift+1/Meta+! to any keybinding. (In my case, "window to desktop 1" binding)
2. 
3. 

OBSERVED RESULT
Binds to Meta+Shift+! instead of Meta+!

EXPECTED RESULT
Binds to Meta+!

Windows: 
macOS: 
Linux/KDE Plasma: 
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 5.19.1

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

I can confirm this bug is not present on plasma 5.18.5. See attached screenshot for expected behavior.
This bug is probably related to Bug 423080 which affects plasma 5.19

Hello, I might have found the cause of this issue.

KDeclarative's KeySequenceItem started as a clone of KXmlGui's KKeySequence. git blame shows that 1a919c88 is when this happens, and for some reason, the KKeyServer::isShiftAsModifierAllowed check is omitted.
(links to the lines)
https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/kxmlgui/-/blob/master/src/kkeysequencewidget.cpp#L769

https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/kdeclarative/-/blob/master/src/qmlcontrols/kquickcontrols/private/keysequencehelper.cpp#L457

Readding the check fixes this bug, but my limited testing does not guarantee it not introducing new ones or resulting to regressions, especially since it was conciously omitted before.

While this fixes the case with Meta as modifier, it does not work with any other modifier (or just shift + num) from what I tested. After that issue is resolved, then only the keys hardcoded into the check are allowed to be with Shift.

Still not working on my site:

KDE Plasma: 5.27.4
KDE Framewrok: 5.105.0
Qt: 5.15.9
Kernel: 6.3.1-arch1-1 (64-bit)

I'm trying to set "Meta+Shift+>" for "Window to Next Screen", but It's doesn't work.

I also tried editing the ".config/kglobalshortcutsrc" file from "Meta+>" to "Meta+Shift+>" (and rebooting) without luck.

Thanks
