Option key disabled inside ignored app (e.g., Maya)

First of all, thanks for the "Ignore Custom Apps" feature—it's working as intended in terms of preventing SwiftShift from moving/resizing windows in ignored apps.

However, there's an unintended side effect: even when an app is on the ignore list (in my case, Maya), pressing the Option key still gets intercepted by SwiftShift. This means that Maya’s native functionality tied to Option—like tumbling/orbiting the camera—no longer works. And when I quit SwiftShift, option key works as expected again.

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Add Maya (or any app that uses the Option key) to the ignored applications list.
  2. Open Maya and try to use the Option key to orbit/tumble the camera.
  3. Nothing happens—SwiftShift seems to block the key even though the app is ignored.
  4. When I quit SwiftShift, option key works as expected.
