Omitted keys prevent implementation of macOS standard shortcuts  #3099

Describe the bug
I understand why some non-standard keys are omitted from the "Key" enum, however there are a few omissions that should be reconsidered since they are required to satisfy all the standard macOS shortcuts:
(notice that most of those are handled by the OS and don't need to be implemented by the app).

The main omissions are:
Comma - used in "Command + ," (Settings, or preferences as it was named in older OS versions).
Left and Right curly brackets, Vertical Bar - Used for alignment.
Question Mark - Used in "Shift+Command+?" to open the help menu.
Colon and Semi-Colon are used in spelling commands.
Comma, Period and Grave Accent are also used for several accessibility shortcuts.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

  • OS: macOS Ventura 13.4

Aside from that, these are REALLY useful for complex desktop apps ()like music sequencers and 3D editors) and should be at least optional, maybe clearly labeled as non-standard.

Thanks!
