Description
Problem description
Currently to send a key combination like "Ctrl-Shift-Return" one has to use {Control>}{Shift>}{Return}{/Shift}{/Control} which is hard to read
Suggested solution
a shorter form {Control Shift Return} would make it more manageable.

Research direction
No implementation files, entry points, or tests are named in the issue. Start by locating the key-combination parsing and keyboard-event tests, then confirm the existing brace syntax and define how the shorter form should behave. Done means the shorthand is supported without breaking the current syntax and its behavior is covered by tests.
