I changed left shift key to "go to desktop" shortcut. But wanted it back to original shift key function. I tried to go system settings>keyboard>shortcuts but not working. Whenever I click 'left shift', it automatically shows desktop.. How can I fix this?

I went into my keyboard shortcuts and for show desktop it says the keyboard shortcut is F11 ( but thats the sound lower button and does not show the desktop). Any other reason why this would be happening and how to fix it? Thanks!
