Description

First off, thanks for an awesome library!

I can't seem to get the the sequence functionality working with modified keys (e.g. space,shift+3). Is there a way around this? In other words, I want a user to press the space bar and then the pound key. Ideally it'd be able to do space,#, but space,shift+3 is ok, too.

I've tested space,3 and shift+3 and both work separately (of course), but I can't get space,shift+3 (or the ideal space,#) working.

Research direction
Examine the sequence handling code in jwerty.js, focusing on how key combinations and modifiers are parsed. Review the comments in issue #13 for any prior discussion or attempts. Consider adding support for modifier keys (e.g., shift+3) within sequence definitions and updating the relevant parsing logic.
