Unfortunately, no; it's a hardware thing. The best you can do is pick other combinations that best suit your keyboard, and try to allow users to do the same. I'm not sure where ENIGMA's keyboard mapping stands, but I haven't heard about it, so I assume it's go.

Keyboard mapping is what you want to allow users to set custom key combinations which work on their keyboards.

It depends on the keyboard and the connector. I think the old PS/2 connector had some n button limit and many keyboards use some wire grids to be less expensive, which creates conflicts when many keys are pressed at the same time. Laptop keyboards are USB (or something) and they usually have the wire per key thing as they are built in a relatively expensive laptop, so you don't see a problem there. Try either a USB keyboard or just buy a higher end one. This shouldn't be ENIGMA specific anyway. Have you tried pressing those keys in another program?

Well already explained its a hardware issue. It cannot be fixed by a config.
