Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/keycastr/keycastr/issues/331

with the Apply Modifiers setting checked
SHFT + , correctly produces <

but
CTRL + SHFT + , does not convert the SHFT + , to <
in other words, CTRL + SHFT + produces CTRL + SHFT +

maybe this is the intended behavior
but I would expect
CTRL + < to be displayed instead of CTRL + SHFT + ,

Yes, you are correct, there is a subtle bug here coming from the older intentional choice to always show the original keycap for command sequences.

Another annoying example is in the US-English layout: + is a shifted =, and in many apps there is a common keystroke to zoom in which is CMD-+ but KeyCastr will display CMD-Shift-= instead.

Maybe this can be handled better now that we have the setting to apply modifiers, but keep in mind that there would likely be other undesirable results, especially in the number row. I'll look into it...

Thanks for the bug report!
