This scenario is not the intended use for Keyboard Manager. The goal is only to deal with the exact combination of keys. It's working as intended. What would the use case for your suggested scenario be? /needinfo

@jaimecbernardo i need to disable opening the start menu when pressing CTRL+ESC, as this causes discomfort in applications in fullscreen mode (causes them to collapse)

The exact pressing of CTRL+ESC with the Disable action really works out as intended and the start menu does not open, however, with the addition of any key between CTRL and ESC, the start menu opens.
