Mac Alt+_ shortcuts don't work #3336

Description

On mac the shortcuts using alt only work if the menu bar item they are in is selected. This is probably due to macos translating a lot of alt combinations into weird characters (see also helix-editor/helix#2280 (comment)).

From short experimentation with winit it reports "key_without_modifiers" as a platform specific extentions to the KeyEvent struct. Keyboard shortcut testing should probably be done against that.
