Description
Feature Request Description
Currently, Loop treats several keys as identical. On full-size keyboards, it limits the available shortcut options.
In the attached full-size keyboard image, keys marked with the same color are considered identical keys, but we expect them to be usable as separate keys for shortcuts.
Couldn't we introduce an option to separate these keys, thereby bringing convenience to both MacBook and full-size keyboards?

Research direction
The issue does not identify files, tests, or an entry point. Start by locating shortcut and key-handling code in the Swift macOS application, then determine how the currently identical keys are grouped. Done means an option separates those keys for shortcuts while preserving existing behavior.
