Describe the bug
I was searching for a tool that I can use in live-demos of development tooling sessions to visualize the magic keyboard shortcuts I am pressing. Therefore I found keyviz what seems to be the perfect match. Thanks for making this great tool - it looks quite promising but ...

My expecation now would be that when I press [Ctrl][Shit][t] to open a type in Eclipse, it would show these three keys.
However, in 95% of the cases I tested this it only shows [Ctrl][t] what seems like a bug to me.

Version: v1.0.6

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Activate keyviz
  2. Enable Hotkey Filter in the general settings
  3. Open an app (e.g. notepad)
  4. Press quickly together [Ctrl][Shit][t]
  5. See that only [Ctrl][t] is displayed and [Shift] is missing.

When I use Eclipse, [Ctrl][t] does a very different thing compared to [Ctrl][Shift][t] so I can verify what I really pressed and see that keyviz is "lying" to me.

Expected behavior
I expect that exactly the combination of keys I pressed on my keyboard will be displayed by keyviz.
I am fully aware that [AltGr] is displayed as combination of [Ctrl][Alt] what is fully fine for me, but if I press [Shift] and keyviz is not showing [Shift], I consider this a bug and that makes the usage of the tool fade for my usecase unfortunately.
UPDATE: After disabling Hotkey Filter, the bug is gone. However, Hotkey Filter is what I would love to have active as otherwise it is quite disturbing when I type texts fast. I would like to only display hotkey combinations.

Additional context
I have disabled auto-hotkeys to avoid side-effects from other tools that may interfere but this does not help.

For the record: With [Ctrl][Alt][t] for instance it works reliably. With [Alt][Shift][t] I also get the same bug that [Shift] is missing most of the times. Esp. when I press all keys quickly together what I usually do. For me it seems that there is some bug with the [Shift] key detection.

Update: Seems to be a bug with the Hotkey Filter. If I disable it, the error goes way.
