Invalid shortcut
Only shortcuts that start with **Windows key**, **Ctrl**, **Alt** or **Shift** are valid.
The ** sequences are used for text formatting of the key names. Don't remove them on translation.
Possible shortcut interference with Alt Gr
Alt Gr refers to the right alt key on some international keyboards
Shortcuts with **Ctrl** and **Alt** may remove functionality from some international keyboards, because **Ctrl** + **Alt** = **Alt Gr** in those keyboards.
The ** sequences are used for text formatting of the key names. Don't remove them on translation.
