STEPS TO REPRODUCE Tested with English US and French keymaps 1. Go to System Settings > Shortcuts 2. Try to assign say "Meta+Shift+1" for "Window to Desktop 1" action OBSERVED RESULT As you press the keys to define the shortcut, "Meta" and "Shift" appear in the box with the wheel, but as soon as you press "1", the shortcut ends up being "Meta+!". It seems that "Shift" key cannot be used in combination with another key which has two variants. Indeed, "Meta+Shift+<any_letter>" or "Meta+Shift+* (the * key being on the numpad and not having any variant) work just fine. But "Meta+Shift+7" will lead to "Meta+&" and so on. "Shift+<key>" alone without Meta gives mixed results as well: "Shift+F10" or "Shift+Down" are accepted but other combinations such as "Shift+!", "Shift+" or "Shift+4" aren't. EXPECTED RESULT I should be able to assign "Shift+<any_key> or "Meta+Shift+<any_key>" to an action.

Could you check if it differs on Wayland?
(In reply to Andrey from comment #1) > Could you check if it differs on Wayland? I've just tried on Wayland and it doesn't make any difference unfortunately. Same behavior than on X11.
Any update?
Could you try to do some investigation and find related issues here or for Qt? I think I saw something related with Shift modifier for shortcuts.. It would help to push it forward.
Sorry to dig up this old bug, but it seems it's still unsolved. This is my system info: ``` OS: Fedora Linux 37 KDE KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.105.0 Qt Version: 5.15.9 Graphics Platform: Wayland ``` I'm pretty sure I wasn't seeing this on Kubuntu 20.04 LTS (which I believe shipped with X11). The issue is exactly what described earlier: I can also confirm that "Ctrl+Shift+NumPad*" combinations are affected, even if I set the advanced keyboard setting "Numeric keypad always enters digits (as in macOS)".
What if you keep only English layout configured in your system?

This bug is valid.
The bug is valid. The layout does not matter.
Still occurs after updating to Plasma 6. - Operating System: Arch Linux - KDE Plasma Version: 6.0.1 - KDE Frameworks Version: 6.0.0 - Qt Version: 6.6.2 - Graphics Platform: Wayland Same on X11.

Sorry it's not quite clear to me if the actual problem is the resulted shortcut can't be triggered at all or you just prefer it would be "Meta+Shift+1" instead of "Meta+!"?

The latter. I'd like to use "Meta+Shift+1" for "Window to Desktop 1" action.
Then the description is somewhat misleading as the Shift key is actually can be used in the shortcuts, it's just sometimes "consumed" by a keymap on XKB level. I don't know an easy way to prevent this, if somebody looks how it's done in Gnome, it would be helpful.
