Same key, but indeed you need to use the shift key to get the right
action.

Perhaps it's a summary of the moving-around keys?

Shift-B moves selected elements to the other side of the board.

It's standard to use upper case letters to indicate the letter keys
you have to press (not the characters they generate) in menu
accelerators. If upper case is wanted, Shift- is prefixed (i.e. "U"
is lower case u, "Shift-U" is upper case u). The idea is that they're
*keys* not *characters* and keyboards are printed in upper case.

Ideally, they'd have their own translations anyway. "Key Bindings" is
both accurate and conventional.
Note that this command:
pcb --action-string 'DumpKeys()'
Will print out all the current key bindings (including user-specific
customizations), at least for the Lesstif HID.
