Do you mean that when you press that key combination when hovering on
the InsertBlankWholeNote menu item (which is this command

Command: Insert a 𝄻 Spacer
Insert a non-printing 𝄻 rest
Location: Object Menu ▶ Notes/Rests ▶ Rest Insertion
Internal Name: InsertBlankWholeNote

or if you use the Add 1-Key Shortcut in the Command Center while that
command is selected, something strange happens? " = 4 crotchets" ???

Well, not to me :) The nearest thing I have is a Windows Vista laptop -
it is not distinguishing between right and left shift keys, so it just
asks if I want to lose the current shortcut for ChangeTo0 (change the
note's duration to whole note)

then I suppose you would have to use Shift-R,1,1 for a minim?

What would be interesting would be to look at those key re-assignment
programs that are available for windows (someone I know uses one to
avoid the Ctrl key being so close to the Shift). If you never use the
"Windows" key (the one with a flag on it) for getting up the windows
menu then you could free it for use in Denemo.
