MacOs Beglian Keybaord, cannot input "|"

[gervaisb]

Details

Under macOs with a Belgian keyboard we have to use Shift + Alt + L to input the pipe character: |. But that does not work in Alacritty. I have configured a keybinding: { key: L, mods: Shift|Alt, chars: "|"} but it does not work too.

The expected behavior would be to be able to enter a | with the default keys: Shift + Alt + L

System

OS: macOS Big Sur (did not tried other versions)
Version: 0.7.2 (5ac8060)
