Question #670988 on Sikuli changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/sikuli/+question/670988

    Status: Open => Answered

RaiMan proposed the following answer:
with type(keysequence, modifiers)

keysequence and modifiers are 2 function parameters, that cannot be
packed into one string parameter.

If you want to do something like that, you have to make a wrapper
function, that accepts a string and isolates the 2 parameters from there
to give it then to type() internally.

BTW: 
type('P', Key.CTRL + Key.SHIFT)

does not make sense, since the uppercase P already internally is used as
lowercase p with a modifier SHIFT

so either
type('P', Key.CTRL)

or
type("p", Key.CTRL + Key.SHIFT) # recommended, since it is clearer
