Environment

Windows build number: Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.18362.175]
Windows Terminal version (if applicable): 0.2.1715.0

Steps to reproduce

  1. Using a Swedish QWERTY keyboard (not sure if it matters)
  2. Open cmd
  3. Pressing AltGr + tilde key + s gives this output: C:\Users\foo>¨~s

Expected behavior

I expected it to give this output: C:\Users\foo>~s

Actual behavior

It somehow adds ¨ inbetween which should only happen if I press Shift + same button
