C2LC-427: Keyboard shortcuts not working from Grid 3 when set to "United States-International" keyboard input

Description

Steps to reproduce:

• Set Windows to "United States-International" keyboard input
  • Select "ENG INTL" on the taskbar keyboard input method selector
  • If "ENG INTL" is not available, it can be added as follows:
    • Open Settings / Time & Language / Language
    • Click "English (United States)" under "Preferred languages"
    • Click Options
    • Click "Add a keyboard"
    • Add "United States-International"
• Open Weavly in Chrome
• Run Grid 3 and load a Weavly grid set
• Activate the "Actions" cell

Expected:

• Focus to be set to the first Actions block, and then focus to be moved through the Actions Panel

Actual:

• The tabs to move focus and the space to click work, but focus is not set initially to the first Actions block

Other keyboard shortcuts such as Play, Refresh, and Delete All also do not work.

  Windows treats Left Ctrl + Left Alt as "Alt Gr" (Right Alt).

  Resources:

  • Why Ctrl+Alt shouldn't be used as a shortcut modifier
    • "You may have noticed that Windows doesn’t use Ctrl+Alt as a keyboard shortcut anywhere. (Or at least it shouldn’t.) If a chorded modifier is needed, it’s usually Ctrl+Shift. That’s because Ctrl+Alt has special meaning on many keyboards. The combination Ctrl+Alt is also known as AltGr, and it acts as an alternate shift key."

  Testing in Notepad, in "United States-International" keyboard input method:

  • Left Alt + p: Plays the Windows bell sound (I'm interpreting this to mean that no menus in the menu bar match "p")
  • Left Ctrl + p: Opens the Print dialog box
  • Left Ctrl + Left Alt + p: Types an "ö"
