+, _, ;, Mod++, and a few other combo keys are unsupported

TanStack Hotkeys version

v0.1.3

Framework/Library version

React v18.3.1

Describe the bug and the steps to reproduce it

// these work
useHotkey("=", () => {});
useHotkey("-", () => {});

// none of these work
useHotkey("+", () => {});
useHotkey("Mod++", () => {});
useHotkey("Mod+Shift+=", () => {});
useHotkey("_", () => {});
useHotkey("Mod+_", () => {});
useHotkey("Mod+Shift+-", () => {});

It should be possible to register these, although I assume Mod++ will prove tricky since + is used in the template literal types for chaining. But Mod+Shift+= does not work either.

We would like to use Mod+Shift+= and Mod+Shift+- in our code base.

Note: possible duplicate of #25

On Windows, e.key is + for ctrl+shift+=, but it's = on a Mac.

This was originally intentional since punctuation keys are unpredictable across layouts. But if event.cide can solve this consistently, we'll definitely consider.

Also worth noting these are purely type errors as far as I could tell. If you register these listeners, they will technically work (but of course, the results will vary across different keyboard layouts as noted above, so users probably shouldn't ignore the type errors and should instead wait for it to be fixed in this package)
