Description
Sequoia made a change that no longer allows alt of shift modifiers on their own due to "malware".
https://blog.eternalstorms.at/2024/09/23/keyboard-shortcuts-using-option-and-or-shift-modifiers-only-no-longer-allowed-on-macos-sequoia/
Then, they reversed it for certain scenarios.
Updated for macOS 15.2
Apple seems to have reversed their decision – option-based keyboard shortcuts are allowed again for sandboxed 3rd-party apps on macOS Sequoia 15.2.
Is there a way to do this for `skhd`?
Cheers.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the option- and shift-only shortcut behavior on macOS Sequoia 15.2 and read the linked report for the platform change. Then trace skhd’s modifier handling and determine whether the requested shortcuts can be supported; done means those shortcuts work in skhd without breaking existing combinations.
