How do I set the copy/paste shortcut to `Mod4+Shift+c/v`?

The documentation here How to copy and paste text | Qubes OS suggests that the incantation would be:

qvm-features dom0 gui-default-secure-copy-sequence 'Mod4-Shift-c'
qvm-features dom0 gui-default-secure-paste-sequence 'Mod4-Shift-v'

but that didn’t work. And likewise apeing the format in the global settings GUI:

qvm-features dom0 gui-default-secure-copy-sequence 'Win+Shift+C'
qvm-features dom0 gui-default-secure-paste-sequence 'Win+Shift+V'

is also a no-go. So what’s the incantation I need? And how can I find documentation about this kind of thing in general? man qvm-features is kinda useless and I can’t seem to find a way to get qvm-features to actually print anything about the current configuration of the system.

Ahh… it appears that if notify-send is broken, then copying/pasting doesn’t work. Let me reboot and try this again.

Nope. That didn’t do it. So what is the incantation to set this? Or is it only possible to set it to one of the prescribed values and the documentation is just lying?

Ok, I got it to work. After fixing notify-send, the first incantation is the one that works. That is the one that names the Super/Win key as Mod4 and uses - to separate bucky keys
