The note doesn't move, but just sounds (when using the step note forward shortcut)...
Transport/Step/Note/Backward or Forward are not supposed to move notes around--where did you get that idea? it's supposed to move the play-head (red vertical cursor) to either the previous or next notes onset resp. (and selecting/highlighting those in the process).
When i attempt to use the step not[e] back shortcut, the red playback cursor jumps to bar 28080, or close to it...
that is not expected behavior, at all--can you isolate the track or clip where it occurs and share to debug and fix it?
...catchall that tells the user when he's trying to assign a key to a shortcut that's already being used by something else?
that is indeed in place: you cannot assign a keyboard sequence that is already assigned (in the same context, either main tracks or MIDI clip editor views)
I use META+left/right to step the playback cursor back and forward...
wait! what is this META key all about? mind you it might not have support from the Qt framework (while prolly it does on the DE/WM/compositor in charge, even with different meaning or semantics, whatever; for instance on KDE/Plasma6 it means the dreaded "windows " key, usually to the right of the left-Ctrl key in a modern standard PC-keyboard ; again this META key, no matter its meaning, is not recognized for keyboard shortcuts assignment, at least in Qt/qtractor I'm afraid, so sorry).
