Allow different shortcuts on each device

[franco-ruggeri]

Problem Statement

MacBooks have a different keyboard layout from PC. Most shortcuts with CTRL on PC have the equivalent to CMD on MacBook. This is currently not possible to achieve in Super Productivity, as the keyboard shortcuts are synchronized. For example, if I want a shortcut CTRL+F on PC, it will be CTRL+F on MacBook due to synchronization, and there is no way to make it CMD+F.

:grey_question: Possible Solution

A solution could be to introduce shortcut profiles. The shortcut profiles would be synchronized like it is done now for the shortcuts (the shortcuts could be seen as a single shortcut profile). The selected shortcut profile, instead, would not be synchronized, so as to allow each device to select a different profile among the available ones.

:arrow_heading_up: Describe alternatives you've considered

Another solution could be to support platform-specific shortcuts. However, I think it is less general.

:heavy_plus_sign: Additional context

I personally like to use, for example, CTRL+F for searching instead of the default Shift+F, as this shortcut is the de-facto standard in almost every app. However, using CTRL+F on my PC would lead to CTRL+F on my MacBook instead of CMD+F.

Thank you very much for opening up this issue! I am currently a bit overwhelmed by the many requests that arrive each week, so please forgive me, if I fail to respond personally. I am still very likely to at least skim read your request and I'll probably try to fix all (real) bugs if possible and I will likely review every single PR being made (please, give me a heads up if you intent to do so) and I will try to work on popular requests (please upvote via thumbs up on the original issue) whenever possible, but trying to respond to every single issue over the last years has been kind of draining and I need to adjust my approach for this project to remain fun for me and to make any progress with actually coding new stuff. Thanks for your understanding!

Similar problem is that Super Productivity is language sensitive. I use two keyboard language in the system, so I often switch from one language to another. Now, I have to switch to the same language that I used for configuring shortcuts.

I think, possible solution to both of the issues is an option to configure several shortcuts for the single command. So it would be possible to configure shortcuts for different OSs or keyboard layouts.
