REDO default shortcut is unexpectedly set to Ctrl + Shift + Z

OS: Linux Mint 20.1, Arch.: x86_64, MuseScore version (64-bit): 3.6.2.548021370, revision: 3224f34

AFAIK, Ctrl + Y is normally the universal shortuct for REDO. But in this case it has been replaced by Ctrl + Shift + Z. A screenshot of the shortcuts window (below) show that Ctrl + Y has been allocated elsewhere:

Even then, the "shortcuts" don't appear to do anything.

the sequence "Ctrl+Y,Ctrl+2" does work for me and add a bass clef
Ctrl-Y alone does work too, for redo

So it seems that REDO is Ctrl + Y on Win 10, but is there any good reason for setting the default differently on Linux?

P.S. My mistake about the shortcuts – they are working.

Maybe there was a conflict with another shortcut on Linux?

Other Apps on Linux Mint use Ctrl + Y as the REDO default, and I can't see Ctrl+Y listed in (Linux MInt) Keyboard > Shortcuts. So the default choice of Ctrl+Shift+Z remains a mystery.

in shortcuts.xml I see:

  <SC>
    <key>undo</key>
    <std>11</std>
    </SC>
  <SC>
    <key>redo</key>
    <std>12</std>
    </SC>

For all, including Mac and AZERTY. Whatever that std 11 and std 12 might mean.

Apparently it picks on QKeySequence::StandardKey(i), see https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qkeysequence.html#StandardKey-enum, and at https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qkeysequence.html#standard-shortcuts it claims that Ctrl+Shift+Z is that default, just like you see it happening.
As per that MuseScore/Qt is behaving as intended

Fair enough.
