https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8744 has a couple of patches to allow certain modifiers like shift to work again in the Settings/Keyboard/Application Shortcuts dialog. These should be considered experimental, but are working here.

These two patches go in x11/libxfce4menu/files. The diff paths have been changed from the originals so they would apply in the port.

    Enable <Shift> as modifier key in shortcut dialog.
    
    This restores the functionality of <Shift> as a modifier key.
    Using <Shift_L> and <Shift_R> as a single key is still possible.
    
    It seems gtk_accelerator_name is not designed to distinguish between
    upper-/lowercase, so we just store the <Shift> key in the accelerator
    name. This might not be the recommended way to store accelerators
    as specified by the GTK docs, but at least it fixes the regression
    and seems to not cause any troubles.

    This restores the functionality of <Shift> as a modifier key.
    Using <Shift_L> and <Shift_R> as a single key is still possible.
    
    It seems gtk_accelerator_name is not designed to distinguish between

    as specified by the GTK docs, but at least it fixes the regression
    and seems to not cause any troubles.
    
    Additionally, we need to gtk_accelerator_parse the value returned by
    gtk_accelerator_name, because the key values of both functions are
    not consistent.
