bug: forge keyboard shortcuts interfere with gnome lock shortcut

[nergdron]

Description

the default Forge window switching keyboard shortcuts interfere with the builtin gnome shortcut to lock the screen.

Problem Explanation

pressing <Super> L, the builtin gnome shortcut to lock the screen, no longer works when forget is active. it seems likely this is because forge binds + I/J/K/L for window movement. however, changing those shortcuts to something else in the forget settings, such as <Shift><Super>L don't allow that shortcut to continue working either.

Expected Behavior

• Forge extension shouldn't overwrite or break essential builtin gnome shortcuts without input from the user
• Forge should provide non-conflicting shortcuts, or prompt the user if it wants to adopt the conflicting ones from forge or use the Gnome defaults

Reprodution

<Super> L with Forge active

It happens with any application?

• Yes, it applies to any application.

It happens only on one computer?

• No. I have tried it on more than one computer.

It happens only with some specific gnome configuration?

• I don't think that the configuration matters.

It happens only with some specific extension installed?

• I don't think that the installed extensions affect the bug/behavior.

Thanks for the report. This is related to #37

[nergdron]

ahhh yeah, this could be rolled into that one for sure. some sort of conflict resolution process where you could pick either gnome defaults or forge bindings would be an awesome solution to this issue.

Same with Super+H, which defaults to "hide window"
