System Information
Operating system: Windows-10-10.0.18362 64 Bits
Graphics card: GeForce GTX 1650/PCIe/SSE2 NVIDIA Corporation 4.5.0 NVIDIA 419.71

Blender Version
Broken: version: 2.80 (sub 75), branch: master, commit date: 2019-07-29 14:47, hash: f6cb5f5449
Worked: (optional)

Short description of error
There may be a typo in one of the Keymap/Keyconfig/Shortcut preset names. The current three options are 'Blender', 'Blender 27X', and 'Industry Compatible'. I'm unsure if the 'Blender 27X' choice is just the keymap preset used in [earlier] Blender versions 2.7x (if so, I'm guessing 'Blender' is just a new keymap preset for v2.80), but assuming this is indeed the case, shouldn't this preset option be called 'Blender 2.7X' rather than 'Blender 27X'? This would be a very minor typo, but fixing it would definitely clear up a lot of ambiguity, as '27X' could mean a lot of different things whereas '2.7X' very heavily alludes to Blender v2.7x...

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
i) Run Blender v2.80 for the very first time
ii) In the Quick Setup menu that appears (even before you see the Splash Screen), open the dropdown menu to see all possible choices for "Shortcuts"
iii) Observe the 'Blender 27X' option and wonder if it's actually supposed to say 'Blender 2.7X'
[see screenshot 1 below]

[without having to run Blender v2.80 for the very first time]
i) Navigate thru Edit>>Preferences>>Keymap
ii) Open the very first [topmost] dropdown menu
iii) Observe the 'Blender 27X' option and wonder if it's actually supposed to say 'Blender 2.7X'
[see screenshot 2 below]

Thx for the suggestion and putting the effort in reporting this.

Afaict, atm, these names are derived from the filename [blender_27x.py].
Having another dot in there would probably not be the way to go [not sure whereelse this would brake things].
And while having this more readable [I would prefer 2.7x over 27X as well] would be nice, this would not be considered a bug.

So this would be more like a request that could be posted in other channels: https://wiki.blender.org/wiki/Communication/Contact#User_Feedback_and_Requests
