Keybindings that require AltGr modifiers don't work on Windows

[CptPotato]

Summary

as mentioned in #595 (comment)

Keybinds that use characters which require the AltGr modifier don't seem to work on windows. Entering these characters normally as text, however, works as expected with the fixes made to address #595.

One example is the pipe command | on some European keyboard layouts.
For reference, crossterm's event-read example registers the key as:
Event: Key(KeyEvent { code: Char('|'), modifiers: CONTROL | ALT })

Another thing to note is that on linux the same keybind works for me (with the same keyboard layout).

Edit: I just tested it on linux: Characters that are written with the AltGr modifier do not include the ˋCONTROLˋ and ˋALTˋ modifier-flags in crossterm, which is probably the cause of this issue.

Yup, it's working perfectly fine. Note that I'm using cmd not bash (the latter one doesn't work for me; powershell should be fine, too, but I don't use that).

ahw right... i am using bash, but just tried wezterm --> cmd --> hx ; still showed the same gibberish

Closing favor of #7129 since that has more details
