Allow for targeted left/right keys for activation (alt,ctrl,win....) #26947

Description of the new feature / enhancement

As suggested in #26726, here an feature/enhancement request for this feature: Currently the Print-Key is detected as Apps/Menu, which is a not allowed base key. In addition the key Alt Gr is detected as Ctrl Alt and the right Strg key is detected as normal Strg key, which allows limited keybinds, where keys like the space key are included because I need these features many times a day in the bottom line of my keyboard (Ctrl + Alt + Space == PT Run and now I want PT Peek to use the keys Alt Gr + Space for activation).

If anyone has any more suggestions for "base" keys, just name them and I will add them to the list.

It would be great if following keys could be used as "base" key:

Scenario when this would be used?

When setting activation keys for features there would be more possibilities for users to set there prefered keybinds.
