Disabling a shortcut still allows fallthrough: shortcut + other key will execute the shortcut (with no option to disable all sub-shortcuts)

Keyboard Manager
Steps to reproduce
- Set a shortcut to disable Alt+Tab on a specific process, e.g. mspaint
- Open Paint
- Press Alt+Tab
-
- Press Alt+Tab+
- The Alt+Tab menu still opens
✔️ Expected Behavior
Because Keyboard Manager does not let you change a shortcut with more than 2 buttons, there is no way to stop fallthrough shortcuts from executing. There's 2 ways I can think to solve this:
- Allow n-keys to be set in the shortcuts of Keyboard Manager.
- Include a checkbox to stop ALL derivatives of the shortcut from executing (e.g. Alt+Tab+
all get blocked, along with Alt+Tab itself)
❌ Actual Behavior
Disabling a shortcut only blocks the specific shortcut, and the presence of any other key press at the same time lets the shortcut fallthrough and still get executed by Windows.
