[BUG] Sending ctrl-alt-delete does not have any reaction on a windows VM

[Martin-Weiss]

Describe the bug
Here we do not have any reaction:

To Reproduce
Have a windows 2022 VM and try to send ctrl-alt-del

Expected behavior
ctrl-alt-del is received and we can login

Environment

• Harvester ISO version: 1.2.0
• Underlying Infrastructure (e.g. Baremetal with Dell PowerEdge R630): not relevant
• Browser: Firefox 117.0 on Mac (M1)

Additional context
Workaround on Mac: use control+option+delete on the keyboard

as for now you can create management shortcut key (record new one with ctrl then alt then del, and save it) - it works.

[W0n9]

The same problem here, and custom shortcut works.
