Description

ctrl - m : skhd -k "return" sends "ctrl - return" instead of "return" (no ctrl)

```
ctrl - m : skhd -k "return"
```

With above config, `ctrl - m` works like `ctrl - return`

This is problematic for example for Chrome, `a` in address bar then `ctrl - m` takes me `www.a.com` instead of searching for `a`.

Any ideas or hacks?

Thank you in advance. And thank you for great tool ❤️ 💫

Research direction

Start by reproducing the behavior on macOS with the shown `ctrl - m : skhd -k "return"` configuration, then trace how the hotkey and `skhd -k` command are parsed and dispatched. Done means `ctrl - m` sends `return` without the control modifier, including in Chrome's address bar.
