In order to for me to be able to use meta + shift + v as a keybinding, I have to tell emacs to pass (kbd "M-V") to global-set-key - if I try and use (kbd "M-S-v") then this ignored, and when I do describe-key for "M-S-v" it says M-v (translated from M-V) - why is it doing this translation when I've set a keybinding for M-S-v and not M-V?

    See the section 'Modifier Keys' of the Emacs manual: https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Modifier-Keys.html. It, implicitly, mentions that there is no `S` for `Shift`, but instead the 'shifted' characters are typed directly (i.e. `A` instead of `S-a` and `*` instead of `S-8` etc.) – dalanicolai Dec 01 '22 at 20:35
