[BUG] key mapping with alt+... doesn't work because alt changes keyboard keys

[ChristoRibeiro]

Describe the bug
I'm trying to add the shortcut alt+h but the real shortcut is actually alt+Ì. If I press alt then the key h become Ì. So I need to register alt+Ì to handle alt+h. I'm not sure if it's a bug or normal behavior.

How are you using react hotkeys components? (HotKeys, GlobalHotKeys, IgnoreKeys, etc)
GlobalHotKeys

Expected behavior
Add the key map alt+h.

Platform:

• react-hotkeys: 2.0.0
• Browser: Chrome 80.0.3987.87
• OS: macOS 10.15.3
• Keyboard: AZERTY

Are you willing and able to create a PR request to fix this issue?
No unfortunately

It works for me w.r.t. triggering the shortcut, but it also pastes in the special character as well =\

I was able to repro this issue on Mac in Chrome on react-hotkeys 2.0.0.

relates to #248, #215, & #232

#232 (comment)

I'm afraid my advice in the short term is to avoid any key combinations with alt in them.
