Research direction
The report names Keyboard Manager and its Grab And Move area but no files or tests. Start by reproducing the Alt-only remap case with Grab And Move enabled, then compare it with Grab And Move disabled. Done means the remapped shortcut executes on its first press without requiring the final key twice.
