Research direction
Start in the Keyboard Manager shortcut-editing flow and reproduce the reported behavior on PowerToys 0.98.1, focusing on converting a side-specific key such as CTRL (Left) to the generic CTRL key. Done means the shortcut editor permits that key edit and the resulting shortcut works as expected.
