Description
### Search first
- [x] I searched and no similar issues were found
### What Happened?
When an international keyboard layout such as BR or US International is active, there's no way to use backticks and tildes, for example, as shortcuts for inline code and code blocks, strikethrough, etc.
After adding any special character such as those in a block, the block starts behaving in an unexpected way, hiding text, for example.
### Reproduce the Bug
1. On macOS, go to "Keyboard" and change the layout to Portuguese (Brazilian) or English (US International - PC), for example.
2. In Logseq, try to use backticks (`) for inline code or a code block, or tilde (~) for strikethrough in any block.
3. More than one character is added, and the block starts behaving in an unexpected way.
### Expected Behavior
The markdown shortcuts were supposed to work as expected because, on international keyboards, the character is only "resolved" after we press the "space" key. That way, if I want to have something like `inline code`, the expected behavior would be: backtick + space + "inline code" text + backtick + space

Research direction
No source files or tests are identified in the report. First reproduce the shortcut behavior in the Logseq Desktop App on macOS using Portuguese (Brazilian) or US International - PC layouts, then trace the markdown shortcut handling. Done means backticks and tildes produce only the intended inline-code, code-block, and strikethrough shortcuts without hiding or duplicating text.
