Can't bind Win Ctrl Shift + (Left|Right) from settings GUI

See original GitHub issue

Instead, the window responds to the Win Shift + arrow combination.

After some deduction, I managed to work around it by modifying C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Packages\46846grabacr.net.SylphyHorn_vwznf8jfphrrc\LocalCache\Local\grabacr.net\SylphyHorn\Settings.xml (when SylphyHorn is closed) to contain the below code, then restarted it.

  <KeyValueOfstringanyType>
    <Key>ShortcutKeySettings.MoveLeftAndSwitch</Key>
    <Value xmlns:d3p1="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" i:type="d3p1:string">37,91,162,160</Value>
  </KeyValueOfstringanyType>
  <KeyValueOfstringanyType>

@Roy-Orbison So, I figured out why no key combo was working for me: combos are not active until the Settings window is closed. 😄

There is a workaround so it all works from Settings panel! In order to get the OS to ignore combinations that contain but are not the same as native ones, simply hold the modified key first, then the modifiers, then release modifiers, then release the modified key. E.g. hold Left key alone, then hold Win & Shift & Ctrl, let go of Win & Shift & Ctrl, let go of Left.

I still think the defaults for new installs should be Win + Shift + Ctrl + Left/Right for the move and switch actions.
