Research direction

No file, test, or entry point is identified in the issue. Start by reproducing the conflict on a French keyboard with PowerToys 0.99.1 on Windows 11, then trace which utility captures AltGr+6; done means the pipe character is entered while the Text Extractor shortcut remains disabled when configured that way.
