Custom Undo shortcut quirk
Although 3.6 isn't being updated, I still find this strange - so figured I'd post:
If I try to add an additional sequence (default shortcut + user added shortcut) for the [undo] command in shortcut preferences, the added shortcut doesn't seem to work. (For example, Shift-Z "added" )
However, if I "replace" the default shortcut (e.g. Shift-Z), the new custom shortcut works, but then the default Ctrl-Z doesn't of course. This is kind of strange, as it doesn't seem to occur with other shortcut situations. It's desired to have the default Ctrl-Z, but then also have an additional shortcut depending on current hand placement while performing tasks, and so the purpose for the custom shortcut as it is is defeated.
I wonder if anyone else can replicate this (This is on Windows 10 - I'm not sure Linux would have this problem, haven't tested recently)...

So far I can't reproduce (also Win10, 3.6.2).
All I note is that for the first Shift+Z to take effect I had to restart MuseScore. But so far, both Ctrl+Z and Shift+Z seem to function as intended.
Note that the undo shortcut seems to take precedence over text input, so you I can't type in a 'Z' into lyrics (for example) without the use of Caps/Shift Lock now...

Appreciate the reply - didn't imagine a restart would be required for a command shortcut to be functional, but I've verified that it does ( for [undo] ). Wonder why that's so compared to the others?

I think (but it's more of a guess than a thought, really) that it has to do with Undo being "higher level" type of shortcut that's always active within MuseScore, whereas others are only so when the score is in focus.

Yeah probably.
But I take back something: I still have problems. Add still "replaces" the [undo] command's default shortcut, and I can't get them to exist side-by-side like with other commands.

I've had the replace behavior as well on my first attempt to add Shift+Z. I could "add" Ctrl+Z to it after the relaunch though.

Right on - that seems to be the appropriate work-around.
