Windows native Alt+Win dictation shortcut can fire during other Alt combos #569

Description

Summary

On Windows, a native multi-modifier quick dictation shortcut such as Alt+Win can trigger during unrelated Alt+... system shortcuts. In practice this can open quick dictation while using combinations such as Alt+Tab or Alt+Shift.

Expected behavior

A native modifier-only combo should only activate when the exact configured modifier set is pressed, and should not fire if another key or an extra modifier joins the chord.

Notes

The current key monitor activates multi-modifier combos as soon as the required modifiers are a subset of held modifiers. It also fires immediately on modifier down, before it can tell whether a regular key such as Tab is part of the same sequence.
