Alt + Shift hotkeys for menu commands in the latest version are broken
Any keyboard shortcut that uses both Alt and Shift sends Alt only when pressed.
So if you have a 'Alt + Shift + T' hotkey assigned to something, pressing it will open Type menu instead ('Alt + T').
Also, a hotkey that uses F-key with a modifier launches an action that is assigned to F-key without modifiers, but not the command.
I have an action that uses F3 for launch.
Then I make a new keyboard shortcut for a menu command, assigned to Alt+F3.
I expect to run the command when I hit Alt+F3.
Instead, Ai does not launch the command, but runs the F3-assigned action!
Same happens if I have an action on Shift+F3 and try to run a command assigned to Alt+Shift+F3 — Ai tries to run the action and ignores the command.
This issue is related to this request:
Make Keyboard Shortcuts and Action panel both see shared conflicts

However this time it’s a straight bug :(

It looks like Shift gets ignored in any Alt+Shift-based hotkeys...
