Bug: Pressing AltGr+A in a text field interrupts text entry.

[gsvalbe]

Description

Pressing AltGr + A keys in a text field should not execute commands and interrupt text entry. AltGr key is used together with letter keys to input language specific characters (for example: AltGr+A=Ā in Latvian).
When renaming a file, pressing AltGr + A selects all files and sometimes closes the rename box. This can get very frustrating.
The "Select all" command, in my opinion, should only be executing when pressing Ctrl + A.

Steps To Reproduce

1. Click to rename a file.
2. Press both - AltGr and A keys in the rename text box.

Expected behavior

Pressing AltGr+A should only input the letter and nothing else.

Is this still an issue in v2.4?

[gsvalbe]

Yes. AltGr+A (same as Ctrl+Alt+A) still selects items not types the character. Not a critical bug, just a bit annoying.
For testing, pressing AltGr+A with English keyboard should type 'á' not select all items.

This is a MUX bug. I've already reported it.
Running some tests, I found that our code does not handle AltGr + A. In fact, this is done by ListView and cannot be disabled. I think I can try to implement a temporary, inelegant solution that we can remove once the bug is fixed.

Microsoft fixed this issue in WinAppSdk 1.5 and it'll be included in the next version of Files.
