Description

I want to use hyper + e key to launch htop in alacritty terminal and hyper + shift + e key to launch alacritty terminal only.

But after applying the following config only htop command is working, is there any way to achieve this? This will unlock lot of possibilities for me.

```
# Launch : Htop in alacritty Alacrity terminal
hyper - e : /Applications/Alacritty.app/Contents/MacOS/alacritty -e htop

# Launch : Alacrity terminal
hyper + shift - e : /Applications/Alacritty.app/Contents/MacOS/alacritty
```

Research direction

Start by checking skhd's modifier-key syntax and compare it with the two configuration bindings shown in the issue. Done means documenting a valid Hyper+E binding for htop and a distinct Hyper+Shift+E binding that launches Alacritty.
