Fixed on 2024.06 branch.

The character value now take priority over the keycode when mapping latin alphabet characters on macOS and Linux, the previous keycode mapping is still used for other characters.

non-ASCII characters are now correctly handled and read into keyboard_string/keyboard_lastchar on macOS.
