Shortcut: Move an item to the top of the backlog

Question

According to the documentation, I should be able to move an item to the top of the backlog via CTRL + Home. I am able to do it manually via drag-and-drop, but the shortcut doesn't seem to work. Do you guys have problems with the shortcuts or am I doing something wrong?

Update from product team:

We have created a bug for the engineering team to address as time permits. Because of the nature of the issue, it is going to be a lower priority bug for us. But we hope to get it addressed in the next few sprints.

Answer 2

This only applies to the Boards:

You can use the following keyboard shortcuts from any Kanban board, that is, when working from Boards>Boards or Work>Board page.

...so unfortunately it does not work in the Backlog, only in the Sprint Backlog.
