In e.g., edit > help > Shortcuts

the keys mentioned are uppercase.

But in reality only lowercase letters will work!

Actually this is correct. The convention in documentation has always been to use upper case letters to denote a keypress, and to include "Shift +" where appropriate.

The reason is simple: look at the keys on your keyboard. The letters are in uppercase, even though unmodified they produce lower case letters when typing. Change to lowercase letters for keypresses, and you have a mismatch.
