Reviewed the key alias implementation at user's request via @copilot review comment.

Review Summary

The implementation correctly handles three alias types (modifier, key, keysym) with proper type safety and zero runtime overhead. Recent fix (2567a8a) correctly preserves implicit flags from literal keys:

// Before: Lost implicit flags like fn for 'delete' or shift for '!'
fn resolve_key_alias_internal(...) !u32 { ... }

// After: Preserves full KeyPress with flags
fn resolve_key_alias_internal(...) !Hotkey.KeyPress { ... }

Key strengths:

  • Circular reference detection with depth limiting
  • Context-aware error messages ("Did you mean '$hyper'?")
  • Parse-time resolution (no runtime cost)
  • Comprehensive test coverage including error cases

Code quality:

  • Clean separation of concerns (definition vs resolution)
  • Proper memory management with explicit cleanup
  • Well-commented complex logic (e.g., keysym detection in hotkey parsing)

Implementation is production-ready.
