Issue/Bug Description:

I recently switched to Colemak and I would like to change vim like shortcuts to use "h", "n", "e", "i" (e.g. super + j to super + n), but it seems that I cannot use a single key or shifted key as a shortcut. The problem is some default shortcuts are defined as a single key or shifted key e.g. "Move window down".

It works well as soon as a use a key combination with super and/or ctrl.

Steps to reproduce (if you know):

1. Go to "Settings > Keyboard > Customize Shortcuts > Move, resize, and swap windows > Move window down".
2. Click the 3 dots button and select "Add another shortcut".
3. Hit any single key or shifted key e.g. "n".
4. The key and the "Set" button do not appear meaning the shortcut cannot be customized.

Expected behavior:

A single key or shifted key should be a valid input. At least in that case.

Hm, agreed that the way the keyboard settings work for these particular bindings doesn't quite make sense.

As a workaround, you can install dconf-editor and change the settings at /org/gnome/shell/extensions/pop-shell (or through the command line with gsettings).

The workaround worked well. Thanks for your help.

If a native solution would be good, I use my colemak-based keyboard in particular.
