say, if i press in this order: ctrl + option + cmd it would work fine.

but if i press in this order: cmd + ctrl + option (or other combination, only if i press cmd first) it would not work

Sorry, I asked for browser/OS before remembering that this is a limitation of Keypress based on browser limitations. From the Keypress page:

Non-modifier keys do not ever fire a keyup event when the command key is held down, so we manually force a keyup event immediately after keydown is received. This means that if your combo includes the meta key, it can contain any number of modifier keys, but only one non-modifier key. Modifier keys are: "meta", "alt", "option", "ctrl", "shift", and "cmd".

I'll revisit this and see if I can come up with some kind of solution if this is something people are looking for.
