Cannot bind cmd+shift+f

[rcorre]

Describe the bug
I can't bind cmd+shift+f, as Amethyst tells me it is already in use. I see it is a default binding for spotlight, but after unchecking that in the Mac keyboard preferences and rebinding it to some made-up convoluted keyboard combo, I still can't bind cmd+shift+f in Amethyst.

Applications:
Amethyst.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Install Amethyst
2. Bind cmd+shift+f to "throw focused window to space 4"
3. See an error that the key combination cannot be used.

Expected behavior
I can bind cmd+shift+f after I've unbound it in Mac keyboard preferences.

I just ran into this issue and had the exact same reproduction steps. In my case, it was with the Control modifier, but I figured out the root cause that may or may not work for other people landing here from a search engine.

Basically, the error is a bit of a misnomer. I already had the same key combination mapped to something else in my Amethyst config. As soon as I cleared it, everything worked as expected.
