Keyboard remapping via KM without special-casing every modifier combination?

I'm attempting create macros for Dvorak > QWERTY key conversions.

For various reasons, the problem I have cannot be solved by switching keyboard layouts. It needs to be a key substitution by an app such as Keyboard Maestro.

The hotkey macros in the attached picture work well.

BUT - these hotkey macros do not work when modifier keys are down. For "Shift C", I'd need an entirely new hotkey macro trigger. The plain "C" remap does not pick up the modifier keys.

Is there any way to get modifier key combination for free, without having to make individual macros for every single combination?

You cannot do this with Keyboard Maestro.

Use a low level remapping tool like Karabiner Elements.
