tabby: Some characters inserted with AltgGr don't work
Version: 1.0.73 Platform: win32 10.0.17134 Plugins: none
On azerty keyboard, some additional characters can be inserted using a AltGr+Key (in fact the Alt key on the right). See this image for details for the french azerty layout for example.
In my case two keys are not correctly inserted, the characters ~ and `. For example when pressing the AltGr+é keys, the ~ should be displayed, but the é char is inserted instead. If I press space bar, the ~ is finally inserted.
When testing with the basic git bash window, the behavior is when pressing first the AltGr+é key, nothing is displayed, pressing bar space displays the “~” char. This the same behavior in Linux terminals:

A workround is to use Microsoft Keyboard Layout Creator to create a custom layout with tilde ~ configured without option “dead key”. Under MSKLC, select ALTGR and make right click on ~ to unselect “Set as dead key”
I see that the microsoft terminal has the same problem and has a potential fix: https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/issues/521
Maybe it is interesting to check their solution. Meanwhile, I use the combination of ctrl+alt instead and it works for me.
This is the same issue I opened on VScode: https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/68262
Still relevant on 1.38.1 with French keyboard 😿
Same issue with the ` character with AltGr + 7
