Comment (by leavengood):
Turns out I'm wrong and pressing Cmd-Shift-= on a US keymap will not send
Cmd-Shift-+ into the shortcut handling but Cmd-Shift-=. This is probably
because all the modifiers are taken into account when offsetting within
the keymap, so Cmd+Shift uses a different offset table than Shift alone
(actually looking at the code whenever Cmd is pressed the key is never
offset.) But I think similar logic as described above can be used when
matching the key, just instead of adding modifiers, both the key and the
modifiers need to be changed internally.
Just an additional caveat is that this means developers could define two
shortcuts in the same app which are ambiguous, depending on the keymap
(Cmd-+ and Cmd-Shift-= being the obvious ones in this case.) So some sort
of warning should come up for that maybe, just unfortunately that can
really only be done at runtime, and it depends on the user keymap.
I may just need to research and see what other OSes do for this, because I
know that Cmd-+ works fine on the Mac for instance.
