Conflict Waring when setting Alt + Print shortcut

Description

Hello,

I am writing here as a result of 2 other bugs: first this one https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14390 from where I understood finally that assigning Alt + Print (SysRQ) is not permitted and secondly this one: https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7897 from where I finally understood why I am not allowed to assign it.

My problem is the behavior or keyboard shortcut app: it is not giving any conflict info to the user and as a result it is assigning a wrong shortcut (only Alt) for the operation which could lead to more search and efforts and frustrations.

Luckily justinnoah@gmail.com, the reporter of bug 7897 realized it when he was setting it up, but there are possibilities (like in my case) when this is not noticed.

Can a "conflict warning" be issued for the case when the user is attempting to assign Alt+Print?

thank you, V
