Research direction

Search the Rust codebase for key-binding parsing and modifier handling, starting with the paths that already accept Control+Shift and Shift+Command combinations. Reproduce the issue with Control+Option and Shift+Option bindings, then verify that both combinations can be configured and triggered without regressing the existing combinations.
