Hi, that is not a two-keys issue: whatever shortcut with ALT does not work.
I hope they will fix it: this tool is marvelous.

I just stumbled upon this issue with commands containing ALT as well and would really love this fix as some games and programs have CTRL and SHIFT reserved, and WINKEY triggers opening the start menu. Also we can't create shortcuts without having one of these four in PowerToys.

Thanks for filing! Video Conference Mute will be deprecated soon, so I'll be closing this issue out.
