No. Any of these modifiers have different meaning, either for selecting notes or for selecting text, or some other function. That would interfere, it simply cannot work. Caps key is really the only modifier that's available (I went through the whole list). It's indeed a strange key to use, that's part of the reason this will be a hidden feature.
