Alt+Shift+T (add new part shortcut) seldom works #44

x-ref with the old non-public JIRA as JOVIAN-648, no additional details on that issue.

After poking at it, I realized that some events don't appear to be propogating as we'd expect:

In that playground, try pressing "Alt T" and notice that there's a keydown and keyup pair for every key. Try the same thing with "Alt Shift T", and notice that we don't actually see a keydown event for the "T" in that shortcut.

I suspect this is an issue with key masking- certain key combinations can't fire together on most matrix keyboards. On this particular keyboard, for instance, I cannot enter "T" when both shift keys are pressed. And when both alt keys are pressed, most of the alphabet becomes inaccessible.

The easiest solution for this is to change the shortcut- maybe to a chord like Ctrl E, T? Or for consistency, Alt E, T/Alt T, T, etc.
