13282	Setup - Edit Keys does not use modifiers correctly	Steve Tremayne		"Whilst trying to add a symbol (""@"") as a Jump Point, the actual key sequence that is stored is ""Shift+@"" - ie, I would need to press Shift twice

(I have a UK keyboard, where @=Shift+' a US keyboard would have @=Shift+2 )

So, in the database, this is stored as:

{{{
MariaDB [mythconverg]> select * from jumppoints where keylist like 'Shift%';
+-------------+-------------+---------+----------+
| destination | description | keylist | hostname |
+-------------+-------------+---------+----------+
| Play music  |             | Shift+@ | tower    |
+-------------+-------------+---------+----------+
}}}


Manually changing the DB, permits the correct key to be used:

{{{
MariaDB [mythconverg]> update jumppoints set keylist='@' where destination ='Play music' and hostname ='tower';
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)
Rows matched: 1  Changed: 1  Warnings: 0

MariaDB [mythconverg]> select * from jumppoints where keylist like 'Shift%';
Empty set (0.00 sec)
}}}


This appears to be an issue in keygrabber.cpp at KeyGrabPopupBox::keyPressEvent() where key_name is set as a simple append of the modifier and the final key.

So, for my UK keyboard, this means I cannot use !""£$%, etc...

I'm not a QT developer, but I'd say the easiest solution here would be to only store the SHIFT modifier if the key pressed was an alphabetical one - this would then still permit ALT+2 (for example)

Currently, there's no way to use many of the symbol keys (without modifying the DB directly), so this limits the user selectable range of inputs.
