📄 Description

Summary of the Pull Request

Some people wish to use Ctrl+Alt combinations without Windows treating those as an alias for AltGr combinations. This PR adds a new altGrAliasing setting allowing one to control this behavior.

PR Checklist

Validation Steps Performed

  • Choose a German keyboard layout
  • Using showkey -a ensured that both Ctrl+Alt+Q/E and AltGr+Q/E produce @/€
  • Added "altGrAliasing": false to the WSL profile
  • Using showkey -a ensured Ctrl+Alt+Q/E now produces ^[^Q/E while AltGr+Q/E continues to produce @/€
