bug(windows): mnemonic layout doesn't support Ctrl and Alt keys
Describe the bug
From the community site: https://community.software.sil.org/t/ctrl-key-mnemonic-sil-ipa-not-working/10301
Hello everyone. I am currently using the SIL IPA keyboard. My standard layout is Dvorak. Shifting works, caps lock works, but CTRL + any key uses the qwerty layout.
Any help would be great, thank you!

I have tentatively scheduled this change for v20.
There are some architectural and design requirements we need to work through to achieve this. Translation of unmapped virtual keys like this is certainly desirable, but not trivial, with non-alphabetic keys.
Let's review this and discuss for v19 if possible - once epic/win-arm is done
As the input tool, we find Keyman very practical, but the problem with the hot keys turned out to be a big obstacle for us to actually using it.
