Shortcuts with same command but different arguments amiss in shortcuts UI

[krassowski]

Description

Are the 20 different bindings all for one action intended? Or a bug? (If not a bug: why has this behaviour been chosen??). Ok, I see from the json settings and the PR discussion that the different bindings are for selecting different objects in the sidebar — but I’ll note that this isn’t reflected at all in the GUI settings editor.

Reproduce

1. Open "Settings Editor"
2. Choose "Keyboard shortcuts"
3. See that all 20 keybindings for "Show Left Activity Bar" are shown as a single shortcut, even though each of these has a different set of arguments
4. See that you cannot modify these shortcuts (edits are not saved)

Expected behavior

1. Shortcuts with different arguments are displayed separately
2. Shortcuts with different arguments can be modified independently
3. The arguments are displayed or even modifiable from shortcuts UI

Context

• JupyterLab version: 4.1.0 but also affects other shortcuts with arguments in 4.0.x and possibly older

(Thanks for translating my comment to a proper issue!)

It's annoying as the shortcut prevents me to type [ when I hit Maj+Option+5, it toggles the left Activity Bar instead.
I'm on jupyterlab version 4.1.0, python 3.11.5, MacOS 14.2.1.

@Lawiss Which keyboard are you using? The issue with the [ shortcut on an Italian keyboard was reported in #15744.

I use the French AZERTY (numerical) keyboard, I think this is the same issue than in #15744.

I tested with release 4.1.1 and the problem seems solved!
