Fix double-modifier bug in hotkey modifier sorting

[iansan5653]

The sortModifers method duplicates a modifier if there is no non-modifier key. For example, sortModifiers("Alt") returns "Alt+Alt".

This PR updates the method to preserve the input key names, limiting modifications to just sorting. Also updates tests.

It would be a little simpler to just write an ordered array here and use indexOf for the numbers, but it would be slightly slower since the lookup would be $O(n)$, whereas the object lookup is $O(1)$.

Pull request overview

Updates hotkey normalization to better handle modifier-only shortcuts and adds test coverage for those cases.

Changes:

• Refactors modifier sorting in normalizeHotkey to use a general token sort with an explicit modifier order.
• Adds normalizeHotkey tests for “only modifiers” and “modifiers + Mod” edge cases.

• modifierKeyNames already defines the canonical modifier ordering, but orderedModifiers duplicates that list in a second place. To avoid these drifting apart in the future, consider generating the ordering map from modifierKeyNames (single source of truth) instead of hardcoding both.

const modifierKeyNames: string[] = ['Control', 'Alt', 'Meta', 'Shift']
/**
* Normalizes a hotkey string before comparing it to the serialized event
* string produced by `eventToHotkeyString`.
* - Replaces the `Mod` modifier with `Meta` on mac, `Control` on other
* platforms.
* - Ensures modifiers are sorted in a consistent order
* @param hotkey a hotkey string
* @param platform NOTE: this param is only intended to be used to mock `navigator.platform` in tests. `window.navigator.platform` is used by default.
* @returns {string} normalized representation of the given hotkey string

Fixed in dd025b5. There was a prettier formatting error in sortModifiers — the method chain needed a newline before .split('+'). Running eslint --fix resolved it.
