I use a Win11 laptop, a 24" monitor and a bluetooth keypad for Krita 5.2.2. I had all my most used shortcuts set to the keypad. Yesterday I tried to change the 2 parentheses keys to reflect new shortcuts, but now instead of the “(” and “)” appearing, I only get the “Shift+9”/ “Shift+10” in the shortcut box. This defeats the purpose, if I have to go to the laptop to utilize, especially as it is for multiple adjustments. Any suggestions?
I think you meant to type parentheses, not apostrophes.
The only way to get to “(” and “)” is by pressing shift+9 or shift+0.
In the past, were you somehow able to designate a parenthesis with a single input?

Did you have CAPS-Lock on before?
Which keyboard layouts do you use?

yes you are correct. I am soo frustrated because I had the parentheses there before I went to change the shortcuts. Going to edit. Thanks
My keypad is cheap, but does have the normal numbers and some extra keys, two being the left & right parentheses. When I set the shortcuts before the “(” and “)” would appear. Before yesterday afternoon, they worked great. The weird thing is everywhere else, even the text box here on Krita, if I hold Shift+9 or 0 I get the corresponding parentheses.
Perhaps a Windows update messed up the keypad’s driver?
but weird I can get the correct input on Krita’s own text box, but not the keyboard shortcuts
That is weird and I don’t understand how 3rd party keypads work. The only thing I know is that Krita doesn’t speak directly to peripherals. It takes all its signals from the operating system, hence my comment about looking into the keypad driver.
EDIT: It’s only a guess on my part. I don’t know that this is a solution. 
I am looking into the Windows thing

I tried again to just press the Parentheses buttons on my keypad to set the shortcut, which wasn’t working before either. This time, though it doesn’t show either “(” or “Shift+9” as the shortcut, but it is doing what it needs to do. I did reinstalled 5.2.2 before trying the keypad buttons option again.

Thanks for the reply. I am using a standard QWERTY laptop keyboard w/ keypad, but with my work setup bought a separate keypad to sit by my pen tablet. This being said I am not sure why it was showing “Shift+9”, not the “(” as it did before. Thou I do not use it, I have Kanvas Buddy installed, which seems to have all the shortcuts as “Shift+num”, maybe it has overridden the normal keyboard sequence. I was able to get things to work, so all is good now.
