Describe the bug
Pressing Alt + l to write ļ on MacOS locks Windows PC like Win key + l does

Expected behavior

Writes ļ without locking Windows

Desktop (please complete the following information):

Barrier 2.3.3
server Win10 18363
client MacOS 10.15.6

Additional context

	alt = super
	super = alt

Windows and MacOS layout is Latvian with ' dead key for diacritic characters , MacOS though allows writing those only while holding ALT
