ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
It would be even better if it still showed the Shortcuts menu when the combination doesn't exist, since the users' intent would've been the same.
Comment 1 Nate Graham 2026-01-08 22:09:40 UTC 
If you search while on the Shortcuts page, it will show the action for that shortcut.

If we exposed shortcuts in a top-level search in System Settings like this, it would super duper clutter up the search results and make them much less relevant.
