I am using a keyboard with qwertz layout. Thats why to enter symbols like ~ and \ i have to use a combination of either Ctrl+Alt+key or Alt-Gr+key. However nano ignores any key Combination involving Ctrl, Alt or Alt-Gr, thinking that I am trying to use an unbound keybind. Ctrl+Alt+key not working is acceptable, since this combination is a macro provided by windows. However I can confirm that GNU nano (run over git bash) does in fact not block any combination involving Alt-Gr. I suppose this would be an easy fix, but I dont really have that much time atm, so please do fix.

Same, this StackOverflow post complains about it too but the answer is only for changing the shortcuts but not the modifier (alt-gr) key 🤔 https://askubuntu.com/questions/235664/how-can-i-change-the-keyboard-shortcuts-in-nano
