Hide left sidebar shortcuts doesn't work with certain keyboard layouts #18

What happened

I have a qwertz keyboard on which I need to press shift+7 to type the / char. So the ctrl+/ shortcut to open/close the left sidebar doesn't work.
This is a common issue on a lot of software (all IDEs have this issue), the simpliest solution would be to be able to remap the keys or have an alternative shortcuts (like ctrl+shift+7) that works on these kinds of keyboards...

The \ also requires the alt gr modifier key but it's handled correctly when hidding the right pane

Steps to reproduce

1. Set a qwertz keyboard layout
2. Try to hide the left pane with ctrl+/

Expected behaviour

The left pane is toggled.

Platform / OS

Omarchy 3.8.2

Ah, thank you for telling me this, I did not realize that would be an issue. I appreciate your suggesting for the user-defined shortcuts... I'll look into that more for August.
