Cannot set shortcuts like ⌥L while Screen Sharing

[lgarron]

• This is a new bug that hasn't been documented in a closed issue or in the Readme.

macOS version: 15.1
Rectangle version: v3.0.37

There's already an issue about disabling Rectangle for the Screen Sharing app: #1316

However, I spent a long time being really stuck because it seems Rectangle Pro doesn't support recording certain shortcuts over screen sharing, even if it can receive them.

• This seems to include all shortcuts with the modifiers ⇧, ⌥, or ⌥⇧
• This doesn't seem to include any shortcuts that include either the control or command key.

Thanks for reporting. It's likely that the shortcut is being intercepted somewhere along the way, despite it bubbling through for the execution. Probably the only way to get by this is to have the shortcut recorder listen to keystrokes globally, rather than just the keystrokes that it receives. There are pros and cons to doing this, and I'm not 100% sold on it at the moment.

Thanks!

btw, I also realized that this is apparently not an issue with Screen Sharing, but a regression of the app in general even outside Screen Sharing? I am certain that it used to work, as I did a lot of debugging that involved setting shortcuts like ⌥L. But now I can't set these at all.

It's not a huge issue for me, as I already have my config and can hack the JSON if needed. But if it's a general regression it might be bisectable?
