Description
I used to have my menu key open synapse. Since synapse has a bug that prevents me from changing the default shortcut, I wanted to use slingshot. But when I press the "menu" key in the Keyboard Switchboard Plug, it remains deactivated.

Research direction
Start with the Keyboard Switchboard Plug and reproduce the shortcut configuration flow using the Menu key. Trace why the key remains deactivated, then verify that Menu can be assigned to launch Slingshot and that the assignment persists.
