P3: Somewhat important I think this is a shiboken feature request. An example is:
a = QAction() a.setShortcut(Qt.Key_Back)
PySide6
Python 3.8
Qt 6.2.0 (x86_64-little_endian-lp64 shared (dynamic) debug build; by GCC 9.3.0)
FIXME Subscripted generics cannot be used with class and instance checks

In C++, the Key_Back is implicitly converted to a QKeySequence because the QKeySequence constructor takes a QKey as an argument. Interestingly:
>>> a.setShortcut(Qt.CTRL + Qt.Key_Plus)
is okay.
