Can't set shortcut to "Shift Left/Right/Up/Down" about rectangle HOT 6 CLOSED

@jingzhehu thanks for using the app!

The shortcut recorder doesn't allow shortcuts that are already in use by the OS. Shift+arrow is used globally to highlight text.

At this time, I don't have plans to change this behavior to allow Shift+arrow. It is a really easy change to make in the code, though. If you want to fork it and make the changes, I can walk you through it.

Sorry, probably not the answer you were looking for, but I'm going to close this as "works as intended".

Got it and thanks in advance ! Could you point me to the relevant source codes ?

I made a quick branch that does what you want. Let me know if you have any questions.

@rxhanson Works perfectly ! Really appreciate your help.

Somehow cocoapod complains about Unable to find a target named RectangleMAS. The project builds fine after commenting out the RectangleMAS section in Podfile and changing some code signing related things.

Thanks for being the first Guinea Pig and letting me know :)

I removed the RectangleMAS target and reset Xcode to codesign locally in master for the next tinkerers that come along.

If you don't mind, it would help to star the project in GitHub so that it can gain more interest. That will also help me get to 50 stars to add it to brew cask for easy install. Thanks!

@jingzhehu figured I'd let you know that I added the changes for allowing any shortcut into v0.4, so you can get back on the main release track if you want. It's a checkbox in the settings tab of the preferences window.
