Shortcut Keys a.k.a. Global Actions Manager can not set a required shortcut #86

My first attempt to set a required shortcut failed:

keying Control-F2 – not what's required – is recognised
keying Alt-F2 is not recognised, the countdown ends, the application reverts to the unwanted shortcut.

Keep in mind that in helloSystem Ctrl and Alt are reversed by default, and the user interface does not reflect this correctly yet. Also, some low-level shortcuts are defined in KWin and/or Openbox. I am not happy about this duplicity and will likely try to get rid of those.

Ctrl and Alt are reversed by default

The bug is evident after undoing the reversal.
