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
²as part of their accelerator feature ?
Thanks 🤗 !

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.
