Research direction

Start by reproducing the native eframe behavior on Windows 11 with a German keyboard using Ctrl+Alt+8, then compare it with the working WebAssembly behavior. The fix is complete when that shortcut inserts the [ character in the native context and the regression is covered by an appropriate test.
