SwiftShift eats up all shortcuts even if the mouse is not clicked

Bug description

I'm trying to do multiple cursors in VSCode with Cmd+Shift but SwiftShift eats the keys before they reach other windows.

SwiftShift should always propagate the shortcuts to other programs.

Worse yet, this behavior stays when I close the app — this should be an easy fix, on the AppDelegate you should de-register all shortcut handlers.

I'm open to PRs 🙌🏻

I cannot reproduce on 15.0.1, however, I'm upgrading said system. Let's see if it manifests after the update

@jmg-duarte I can reproduce the issue and am familiar with it; I believe I've experienced it since the beginning. I rarely encounter it because I use similar shortcuts to yours, but it's very annoying when you have a short shortcut, like Command or Alt.

@jmg-duarte hey, if you still use the app, can you update it and try again to see if it's fixed?

This was workflow-breaking for me, I stopped using the app shortly afterwards.
