Ref T10252. The previous fix rPa8a9fddb0738 only works for macOS.
Under Windows the @ symbol is composed of AltGr+q. For Chrome and Edge the "AltGr" keypressEvent is like pressing the Control key and the Alt key at the same time.
This fix changes the condition in such a way, that this case (pressing Control and Alt at the same time) is not blocked.

Let me try to scare up some decent way to test this today then I can just let it fly and revert if we get more tasks about it.

@epriestley I am comfortable enough to ship this - at least I tested it reasonably well.

Here's, e.g., a user complaining that another piece of software implemented a similar behavior, hijacking ⌃+Alt+V which they intend to mean "Paste Special":
https://superuser.com/questions/403011/evernote-hijacked-my-ctrlaltv-shortcut-how-can-i-get-it-back
However, we don't hijack the keystroke and don't autocomplete on "V", so I think this is fine until we run into tangible issues with it.

(I also think "Paste Special" probably isn't meaningful in browsers, I think that user was maybe using a Windows extension or toolbar or something, not complaining about website/browser behavior.)
