Feature request: more options for global activation hotkey

Completed

With nvALT I used activation hotkeys such as "Shift+Del" and "Shift+Left Arrow". These don't seem to work for nvUltra. Can you expand the options for global hotkeys to include things like "Shift+[whatever]" or "Ctrl+Tab" or "Ctrl+Esc"?

  My understanding is that for compatibility with the App Store and sandboxing, that MASShortcut (the library we use for the Global Shortcut functionality) can only intercept certain keystrokes.

   

  Ctrl-Esc works just fine, btw.

   

  It seems that either Ctrl or Cmd is required, but I have not thoroughly tested all possible combinations.

  Been using ⇧+␣ in nvALT for years. It's going to be really hard to find a new shortcut.

  Just for the record, and I don't mean to be critical, but Shift-space isn't a great shortcut anyway as it has default behavior in any app that allows scrolling. Better off with opt-shift-space or ctrl-space or any other combination with a modifier key other than just shift…
