Description
I'm only able to get the Shift key to work as a meta key in shortcuts with alphabetical keys. For example, setting a command to "Shift+." will not work. Single letter commands also don't work, but I'm not sure if that is necessary.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the reported keyboard-shortcut cases: Shift+. and a single-letter command. Trace the shortcut handling to determine why Shift works with alphabetical keys but not punctuation, and clarify whether single-letter commands are in scope. Done means the agreed shortcuts consistently trigger their configured commands, with the behavior verified against the existing shortcut checks if available.
