PowerToys: Win + ~ (tilde) does not launch zone editor when other languages in use

Environment

Windows build number: 10.0.18362.295 
PowerToys version: 0.11.0
PowerToy module for which you are reporting the bug (if applicable): FancyZones

Steps to reproduce

My main language is Dutch with US (International) keyboard layout and as second language English (United States) with US keyboard. With none of the language setting Win + ~ is working.

Expected behavior

When using US (International) keyboard ~ is a dead key so I think that would not work. But with US keyboard it should work.

Language selector

Actual behavior

FancyZone editor is not launched.

We’ve discussed this and are going to be adding this to settings so that the user can enter any character to use as the win+<char> shortcut to launch the editor.
