SUMMARY

I have only tested this with the Clipboard (Klipper) application so far, which is where I intended to use the keyboard shortcut, but whenever I set the following shortcut: CTRL + SHIFT + | (§-key on my keyboard layout), then it would prevent CTRL+S (save, default) from functioning whatsoever. The moment I disabled the keyboard shortcut again, the problem went away.

I am using a Norwegian Bokmål keyboard layout that is built-in to Kubuntu.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Opening Klipper settings (Configure Clipboard)
2. Assigning keyboard shortcut CTRL+SHIFT+| (it will print CTRL+§ as a result)
3. Opening up Visual Studio Code or Kate to test, and unable to use CTRL+S. However, CTRL + SHIFT + S works as intended (Save as).

OBSERVED RESULT

The problem disappears whenever I remove this keyboard shortcut, or choose a different one. CTRL + | for example works just fine. So for some reason it is mixing the § sign with S(?)

EXPECTED RESULT

That it records CTRL+SHIFT+| instead of using the shift function on the letter

Corrected product*
Sorry about that.

Please try the behavior on Wayland.
Also, try US layout.

AFAIK, it records Shift modifier for letter shortcuts only (I didn't check it).
In your case nor | neither § are probably letters, so maybe CTRL+§ is normal.
