Description

Describe the bug
I can't assign Shift + Control + a in the Tiling Assistant GUI as any shortcut. (The shortcut can be assigned, and works, when dconf is edited directly.)

Steps To Reproduce
Attempt to assign Shift + Control + a to a shortcut in the Tiling Assistant GUI. If Shift + Control + a was previously assigned using a dconf edit, clear the keybinding and attempt to assign in the GUI.

System Info:

  • Distro (incl. version): Debian 13.2 Trixie (as well as 12.12 Bookworm)
  • GNOME Shell version: 48.4
  • Extension version and from where (e. g. EGO, main branch...): 53 from extensions.gnome.org
  • XOrg/Wayland: Wayland

Research direction

Reproduce the assignment failure in the Tiling Assistant GUI using Shift+Control+a on Debian 12 or 13 under Wayland, including after clearing an existing dconf binding. Trace the GUI shortcut-assignment flow and compare it with the working dconf behavior; done means the shortcut can be assigned and works through the GUI.
