Description
Description
I'm using alacritty under Windows, which is based on winit.
I'm running vim in the alacritty, and I want to use ctrl-] in vim (that's the command for following the symbol under the cursor).
I'm using a German keyboard, so to get ctrl-] I type ctrl+altgr+9.
When I do that, winit reports ']' to alacritty and neglects to mention the ctrl.

No file or test is named. Reproduce the German-keyboard Ctrl+AltGr+9 case on Windows and trace how winit reports keyboard modifiers to Alacritty; done means Ctrl+] reaches the application with the Ctrl modifier preserved.
