French azerty keyboard (but the issue might also concern qwerty keyboards)

Steps to reproduce

Type symbols using key "Alt Gr", e.g. ~ # { [ | ` \ ^ @ ] } ¤

Expected behavior

The symbols should be displayed as they are typed, as they do in any text field/editor.

Actual behavior

The symbol displayed is the one that should have if the "Alt Gr" key wasn't pressed.
