Cannot type Polish characters (AltGr combinations) in Copilot CLI input on Windows #2920

Description

Describe the bug

It is impossible to type characters that require the AltGr key (right Alt) in the Copilot CLI input field. This affects Polish characters: ą, ę, ó, ś, ź, ż, ć, ń, ł — and likely other languages using AltGr combinations

Affected version

1.0.34

Steps to reproduce the behavior

  1. Open Copilot CLI on Windows
  2. Try to type a Polish character using AltGr + letter (e.g., AltGr+A for ą, AltGr+L for ł)
  3. Nothing is typed, or a wrong character/action is triggered

Expected behavior

AltGr key combinations should produce the correct Unicode characters in the input field.

Additional context

  • OS: Windows
  • Terminal: Windows Terminal / PowerShell
