DESCRIPTION
Some non-US keyboard layouts have an AltGr key in the place of the right Alt
key, to be used to write some letters, punctuation, and special characters.
Typing these characters into a Text element is currently not possible with
Drawy - non of the symbols that would need the AltGr key seem to appear when
using the Hungarian keyboard layout in Drawy 1.0.3 on Windows 11.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Choose a keyboard layout that features the AltGr key (for example
Hungarian).
2. Use the Text tool to add a text field.
3. Try to write any character that needs the AltGr key. (some examples for the
Hungarian layout are given at the bottom of this post)

OBSERVED RESULT
No character appears.

EXPECTED RESULT
The corresponding character to appear.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Drawy: 1.0.3
KDE Frameworks: 6.27.0
Qt: A(z) 6.11.1 használatával (fordítva ezzel: 6.11.1)
Windows 11 Version 25H2
Build ABI: x86_64-little_endian-llp64
Kernel: winnt 10.0.26200

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I've made a screen capture to demonstrate this bug. In this video I have used
the on-screen keyboard, so that you can visually inspect the behaviour, and
also showcased how it does work in other applications. Please note that during
testing, I have used the regular keyboard - the video only uses the on-screen
one for demonstrational purposes.

Information about the AltGr key and it's uses:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AltGr_key

Examples for Hungarian keyboard layout:
AltGr + , (comma) = ; (semicolon)
AltGr + - (dash) = * (star)
AltGr + Q = \ (backslash)
AltGr + X = # (hash)
etc.

The characters do appear in the "Directory for automatic saving" path textbox
in the settings window, so I suspect that Qt probably supports them. I've also
checked to see if this problem is because of any conflicting keyboard
shortcuts, as in some applications, Alt + Ctrl keyboard shortcuts on Windows do
interfere with the AltGr key's functionality, but disabling ALL keyboard
shortcut in the settings did not fix this problem either. Pasting the same
characters does work, so I assume that the problem is related to the AltGr key
itself.

Let me know if any further testing or information is needed.
