Steps to reproduce

linked with #36544

There are shortcuts to Alt+Ctrl+[any letter] and Alt+Ctrl+Shift+[any letter] assigned using Microsoft Keyboard Layout Creator 1.4 (MSKLC).
But MSKLC cannot assign shortcuts to Alt+[any letter]. So I try to use PowerToys Keyboard Manager.
Assign, for example, action 'Send Text: Greek's Delta' to shortcut Alt+D.

✔️ Expected Behavior

When pressing Alt+D expected to get symbol 'Delta' in any text-typing program (notepad, word, chats, messengers).
When pressing Alt+Ctrl+D expected to get symbol 'Degree' (assigned with MSKLC).
When pressing Alt+Ctrl+Shift+D expected to get symbol 'Diameter' (assigned with MSKLC).

❌ Actual Behavior

When pressing Alt+D there is symbol 'Delta' in any text-typing program (notepad, word, chats, messengers). OK
When pressing Alt+Ctrl+D there is symbol 'Delta'. FAIL
When pressing Alt+Ctrl+Shift+D there is symbol 'Delta'. FAIL

Hello,
I think this behaviour is indeed an issue when the shortcut is mapped to a "send text" action.

But when the shortcut is mapped to a "send key/shortcut" action, this behaviour is correct :
For example, when one remaps ALT+H to the LEFT arrow key (in order to simulate vim like navigation at os level), one expects that CTRL+ALT+H triggers CTRL+LEFT.

So I'm not sure it's directly linked with #36544 (which is about "send key/shortcut" and not "send text" action)

Have you tried the "exact match" option (added in the version 0.88.0) in the configuration of your keyboard shortcut remapping ?
