Research direction
Start by reproducing the shortcut behavior in Rectangle on macOS 14.6.1 with US and Colemak layouts, using the shortcut bound to first third as the entry point. Done means a shortcut saved as Ctrl-Command-Shift-Option-J remains J after switching layouts, rather than changing to N.

Description
- This is a new bug that hasn't been documented in a closed issue or in the Readme.
macOS version: 14.6.1 (23G93)
Rectangle version: Version 0.83 (89)
Logs if applicable (In Rectangle menu, hold option, "View Logging..."):
Not sure if this is a MacOS issue or Rectangle specific.
Define some shortcuts in one keyboard layout, then switch layouts with MacOS.
The shortcuts seem to bind to the key position instead of the letters.
For example with US layout I have ctrl-command-shift-option-j bound to first third.
Switching to colemak layout the shortcut becomes ctrl-command-shift-option-n.
The j becomes n in the shortcut but it should remain as j. The N key in the colemak layout is in the same position as the J key in qwerty, but I don't think about the position when remembering shortcuts. I remember to press all modifiers + J.
