# X_SHOT_KEY_INVALID

## Means

a key chord the browser cannot press

## Typical cause

an empty chord, a trailing `+`, a modifier other than `Meta`/`Control`/`Alt`/`Shift` (`Ctrl` is refused), one held twice, or a key that is neither one character nor a named key. Parsed before any key goes down, so no modifier is left held

## Fix

spell it as modifiers then one key: `Meta+K`, `Control+Enter`, `Shift+Tab`, `Escape`
