The format looks like “<Control>a” or “<Shift><Alt>F1”.
The parser is fairly liberal and allows lower or upper case, and also

Key names are parsed using funcGdk.keyval_from_name. For character keys

“<Ctrl>minus” instead of “<Ctrl>-”.
Modifiers are enclosed in angular brackets <>, and match the
gdk.types.ModifierType mask:
