Bug Description
I click on settings in menu or press my settings icon key (above F9 key on Lenovo T450s keyboard). Navigate to "Keyboard Shortcuts". Scroll to bottom to press "+" to add a custom shortcut. Define function, then click on "Set Shortcut...". Then I press the "Explorer" key, which is above the F12 on my keyboard. Instead of setting the shortcut, it brings up a file browser.
I can set my shortcut to shift-Explorer, but not to Explorer. This is even though no other keyboard shortcut listed is set to this key "Explorer". The "Home folder" Launcher is set to "Disabled".
Changing the "Home folder" launcher keyboard shortcut to something else does not help.
Instead, once I click on "set Shortcut", it should listen to whatever I choose.
The same problem exists for the "Search" key.
