Yes, they do. Do you mean shortcuts with Meta?

There was a bug in 5.4 and 5.5 for shortcuts with Ctrl+Shift but it's fixed in 
5.6

That has nothing to do with shortcuts. It appears that the way that khotkeysd 
sends keypresses isn't working in Creator. It's irrelevant what Creator does: 
the bug is in khotkeysd because it isn't sending the input in such a way that 
some applications can't ignore.
