Issue description

I think this is not reported yet? sorry if I'm wrong (and could be a me issue maybe? tho I've tried it on two devices)

I've tried to set a new shortcut shift + a for adding a child node and it doesn't work
I've also reassign and tested with a different shortcut eg. Ctrl + Shift + N and this works

Steps to reproduce

set a new shortcut for adding a child node
Ctrl+A -> Shift+A

Minimal reproduction project (MRP)

N/A

Can't exactly reproduce here. Windows 10 using either 4.3 or 4.4 beta.

But what I DID find, is that if you have the "Animation" bottom panel open, the created 'shift+a' shortcut for 'add child node' won't work.

In 4.4 beta, "Play animation backwards from End" has a 'shift+a' shortcut.
So if you have your animation bottom panel open, it'll consume the 'shift+a' shortcut and your new shortcut won't work, but that's expected. Removing the animation 'shift+a' shortcut removes the conflict and makes your shortcut work anywhere too.

But I don't know why it also doesn't work on 4.3. (maybe it had a hardcoded shift+a shortcut before and it was fixed on 4.4?)

Thanks for the response, I've tried switching from script tab to the other tabs and it worked, but when I press the node it stops working again (switching tabs makes it work again)
it's feels quite inconsistent but control+a always works

This is expected, text input (_gui_input) is processed before shortcuts. So any focused text field (like script editor) will consume Shift+A event as a capital A letter being entered, and the event will never make it to the shortcut processing.
