Problem or use case
Issue #75 also identifies inconsistent behavior across special key categories when Show key combinations only is enabled. Modified special keys can appear, standalone media keys can still appear, but other standalone special keys such as Escape and Forward Delete do not.
Proposed behavior
Use one consistent filtering rule for special keys when Show key combinations only is enabled. If certain special-key categories are intended to bypass the filter, that behavior should be explicit and consistent across the app.
Alternatives considered
Keep separate behavior for media keys and other special keys. That preserves the inconsistency reported in the original comment and makes the setting harder to reason about.
UI or settings impact
May change how special keys are classified or routed through display filtering logic. The visible result should be predictable across media keys, function keys, navigation keys, and other special keys.
