  • Fix Alt+2 not producing @ symbol on Spanish keyboards
  • Detect when Alt/Option generates special characters (like @, |, €, £, etc.)
  • Skip ESC prefix for international character composition
  • Improve inputMethodEvent handling for better Input Method support
  • Add copilot-instructions.md to .gitignore

This fix resolves keyboard input issues for international layouts where Alt/Option is used for character composition rather than as a Meta modifier.

Hi 👋

I've been thinking about a similar fix myself and saw your comment in #895 . However there doesn't seem to be any committed file changes, perhaps a mistake in pushing?

Best,
Jona
