Windows/ Sublime Text problems with leftalt/ rightalt and overall ctrl+alt shortcut #86

Hi @gornostal!

I supose that my problem is system specified and it doesn't come from Your plugin but: the shortcut of Modific (only the combination ctrl+alt+c) affecting my national "ć" letter and often it is really irritating to handle this inconvenience. I've read that Sublime doesn't recognize the difference between rigt and left alt. Maybe You will find solution for this issue?

Hi @cachaito,

Thanks for letting me know about the issue. I didn't know that fact about WIndows.

Unfortunately, I can't change the default hotkeys for Windows, because many users will be frustrated. And I don't have a solution for you, other than suggesting you to change hotkeys from ctrl+alt+... to something else. Modific, like most of the other plugins, uses Sublime Text API to bind keys, and I cannot affect its internal implementation.
