^ and °
Describe the bug
Hello, I was just learning vimium-c, awesome plugin btw, when using visitPreviousTab I found a bug. I have a german keyboard and I'd like to report that the ^ + ° key (top left) doesn't work as expected.
For reference, ° is shift + ^ and ^ is tapping the key twice to give the option of writing ^, ê ô ĉ etc.
The strange thing is that in "test a key" in options, ^ is correctly identified, while shift+^ produces a ~ instead of °.
Typing ~ intentionally in "test a key" (alt + that key on the right side) does also produce a ~.
Everywhere else in Firefox (and my OS) the keys are not miss-mapped and work as expected.
When I add map ~ visitPreviousTab and or map <a-w> visitPreviousTab, visitPreviousTab works fine with ALT+W, SHIFT+^ and intentional ~.
To Reproduce
Maybe you can replicate by using German on-screen keyboard? I doubt there are many German keyboards in China ;D

Hello I haven't tested but it should be because of the option named Ignore layout if a key is not located in 7-bit ASCII, and you may turn off it, save options and take a try.
When the option is enabled (by default), the ° key character (char code = 0xB0, 176) will be ignored by Vimium C, while it will try to recognize the key just as you're using an English QWERTY keyboard.
