Allow distinguishing left and right Alt keys in keybindings #2018

This would be quite useful for me as well. I'm on a UK keyboard so if I want to type the hash symbol, I would normally have to type alt + 3. Yet on Aerospace's default config, this will move to the third workspace. Ideally, I'd like to free up one of these alt keys for this purpose. |

I'd appreciate this feature too, I have the same issue with the hash key (alt + 3) on a UK layout. |

I'll add another perspective. I'm using keyboard mapping "US (international with alt+gr dead keys)" since I need to type three norwegian characters. As aerospace does not distinguish between Alt and AltGr I must avoid "alt+l", "alt+w", and "alt+z" including combination with shift |

Add an optional configuration that lets users bind shortcuts to a specific Alt key (left or right). For example, assigning left-alt + 1 would only trigger when the left Alt key is used, while right-alt + 1 could be treated as a separate combination.
This change should remain fully backward compatible - existing bindings like alt + 1 would continue to work with either Alt key unless explicitly specified otherwise. The feature would provide more flexibility without affecting current configurations.
