Issue

Hello 🤗,

I am trying to use the ² key of an AZERTY french keyboard as a globalShortcut to open Hyper. (Look at the top left, before the &)

I used to use Guake with this hotkey and it worked, the big advantage being that this key is alost useless for a lot of people which allows simple shortcut such as SHIFT+² instead of CTRL+SHIFT+something.

When I try the gist I shared I get the following error:

To my understanding it comes from from the hyperterm-register-shortcut package which simply uses electron accelerators.
Looking at the documentation it seems ² is not supported.

  • Should I create an issue at Electron's repository directly ?
  • As I'm just an end user can anyone guide me a bit on the informations I should give ? Just ask to support ² as part of their accelerator feature ?

Thanks 🤗 !

Research direction

Start with the hyperterm-register-shortcut package and Electron's accelerator documentation, then compare the reported ² globalShortcut configuration in the linked Gist with the documented accelerator syntax. Done means determining whether the limitation belongs in Hyper or Electron and recording the appropriate next step.
