On Danish layout keyboards several characters are accessed through the Alt Gr or Ctrl+Alt modifier keys (either will usually work). For instance, [ is typed with AltGr + 8 or Ctrl + Alt + 8. Due to the various placement of the keys, it's nice to have both options, since for example AltGr + 8 can be awkward to reach.

After wt was upgraded to 1.7.1033.0, the Ctrl + Alt combinations no longer work. AltGr still works, and the Ctrl + Alt options also work directly in cmd.exe and powershell terminals.

If I uninstall the latest version and manually install version 1.6.10571.0, the Ctrl + Alt modifiers work again.

Configuration:
Windows Terminal 1.7.1033.0
