The system should display Ctrl + s and not Ctrl + S
 
Because people are pressing Shift to get S and this is not working.
We should distinguish between uppercase and lowercase.
The reader cannot guess that S is not the same as s + shift.
There is no way that a user can know that they should NOT press shift when looking at Ctrl + S (because there is no noshiftPressed).
Ctrl + S means press Shift.


key shorcuts are for key, not for character, that���s why they point to the key in the keyboard. 
this is the universal standard, so I do not think we need to change it. 

as Pavel explain, is like that : 

- on mac: symbols + key
- on linux and windows: modifiers + key (e.g. "Shift + S", "Ctrl + Shift + S")
