 A model class to hold a key combination.

 This class just represents a combination of keys. It does not care if
 the combination is valid or can be used as a hotkey, it doesn’t watch
 the input system for the shortcut appearance, nor it does access user
 defaults.

 A string representing the “key” part of a shortcut, like the `5` in `⌘5`.

 @warning The value may change depending on the active keyboard layout.
 For example for the `^2` keyboard shortcut (`kVK_ANSI_2+NSControlKeyMask`
 to be precise) the `keyCodeString` is `2` on the US keyboard, but `ě` when
 the Czech keyboard layout is active. See the spec for details.

/**
 A key-code string used in key equivalent matching.

 For precise meaning of “key equivalents” see the `keyEquivalent`
 property of `NSMenuItem`. Here the string is used to support shortcut
 validation (“is the shortcut already taken in this menu?”) and
 for display in `NSMenu`.

 The value of this property may differ from `keyCodeString`. For example
 the Russian keyboard has a `Г` (Ge) Cyrillic character in place of the
 latin `U` key. This means you can create a `^Г` shortcut, but in menus
 that’s always displayed as `^U`. So the `keyCodeString` returns `Г`
 and `keyCodeStringForKeyEquivalent` returns `U`.
