Hi there! The translation from the key names you provide in the settings JSON to the hardware key codes which are finally generated by Kando is a very tricky (and still a bit buggy) thing. The available key names depend on your OS (for instance, we have this list for Windows and this for Linux).

Which of these key names corresponds to the key marked ' on your keyboard, depends on your keyboard layout. For instance, on my German keyboard I do not have such a key at all! I have to press Shift+# to generate the ' character. And # seems to be the key which generates the key code named "F13" in the list linked above. So guessing the correct "hotkey" string for the settings is pretty difficult …
