Thus, on most keyboard layouts the shortcut for toggling to Space #2 is called `^2`, but on the Czech layout it’s called `^ě`. (I stress that this is the same combination of hardware keys and the same `MASShortcut` instance.) This is reflected by the system: When you open the System Preferences → Keyboard → Shortcuts pane, the shortcuts displayed depend on the currently selected keyboard layout (try switching between the US and Czech keyboard layouts and reopening the preference pane). -This means that the “identity” of a shortcut is given by its key code and modifiers (such as `kVK_ANSI_2` and `NSControlKeyMask`), not the `keyCodeString` returned by the `MASShortcut` class. This string may change depending on the current keyboard layout: `^2` with the US keyboard active, but `^ě` with the Czech keyboard active.
