Description
I'm using flow launcher together with GlazeWM and swapped my Windows key with Right-Ctrl to be able to use the Windows key for keyboard shortcuts.
For launching Flow, I configured Windows+p (=> RCtrl+p) as toggle, but when I press left Ctrl+p, it's also triggering Flow. This interferes with printing functionality of most apps.
It would be great if Flow Launcher would differentiate between left and right ctrl, so that this does not happen.
As an alternative, I could also configure the shortcut in GlazeWM and run some command line to trigger Flow, but I didn't find direct support for that (it also shouldn't cause additional latency).

Research direction
Start by locating Flow Launcher's global shortcut handling and inspect how Ctrl modifiers are matched. Verify how the configured toggle shortcut is triggered, then make sure left and right Ctrl can be distinguished so RCtrl+p does not also respond to LCtrl+p; preserve existing shortcut behavior for other combinations.
