Hotkey problems (Alt+A, Ctrl+ALT+Q etc.)

Hi!

I'm playing AOE 2 De, but I think this applies to all ppl using Crossover on Mac. I'd like to set some hotkeys, namely:

Ctrl+ALT + Q
Ctrl+ALT + D
Alt+A
Alt+Backtick

(Command button goes to Alt on Crossover, that took some time for me to figure out)

First of all, I can't do it using the builtin editor, but there is already a post for that:
https://www.codeweavers.com/compatibility/crossover/forum/age-of-empires-ii-definitive-edition?msg=287284

Instead I'm using this online editor:
https://aokhotkeys.appspot.com/

I can't set any of the above shortcuts. For example Ctrl+ALT + Q is triggering the logout shortcut. I tried to set the shortcut to another on OSX in under Keyboard in Preferences but this didn't work.

Instead I have to use the Karabiner mapper to set

Ctrl+ALT + Q -> Ctrl+Slash
Ctrl+ALT + D -> Shift+Slash
Etc.

Then I can set the hotkey in the editor. Why are these disabled? Perhaps since they are native OSX shortucts?
