This isn't much of a bug really, but anyways, I was attempting to change my global hot keys in Xion to my favorite key combinations, so I opened up the Xion settings, went to the Global Hot Keys, looked at Forward 5 seconds and saw it was Ctrl + Alt + Num 6

i thought to myself, what a stupid key combination. I'm on a laptop so that means I have to press Ctrl + Alt + Fn + O (I don't have a numpad so I need to use function keys).

Well after trying to change it to Ctrl + Alt + Right for like a whole minute, and having it change back to Ctrl + Alt + Num 6 every time (note that when pressing the right key, it says Right in the assignment box, not Num 6) I finally decided to play a song and just see if it was working. Only after doing that and thinking for a minute did I realize what the problem was. It is Ctrl + Alt + Right, just Right is called Num 6, not Right once assigned, similar things happen with all the arrow keys.

Is there a way to make this a little clearer?

Yes, I do plan to. Unfortunately the Input box from windows and the string that is used to represent the key are completely different. I haven't found yet a function that allows me to reproduce what the input box displays. I'll have to make my own Input box it seems and change it to better represent the keys you type.

Thanks for the reminder, I'll look at doing it soon.
