After the latest steam beta update. The steam config menu cannot set any shortcut keys to any special key or function key with or without modifier (Alt, Shift or Control key).

Some keys (Tab and backtick ` ) will display and set to None, other (like F1 to F12, Insert and delete) will set to a random alphabet or number

The shortcut key will also set to that specific alphabet or number + modifier when in-game

If the setting is manually edited in file ${HOME}/.local/share/Steam/userdata/${steamid}/config/localconfig.vdf

		"InGameOverlayShortcutKey"		"Alt	KEY_Tab"
		"InGameOverlayScreenshotHotKey"		"Alt	KEY_F12"

then shortcut key will work correctly.

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. open steam setting
  2. change shortcut key in the in-game tab
