Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/AppFlowy-IO/AppFlowy/issues/2070

Bug Description

The command menu (slash command) is not displayed / cannot be used when typing the / trigger. This happens when the computer's keyboard layout is set to German.

Discovered by testing different keyboard layouts:
German: ❌ (/ on Shift+7)
English US: ✅ (/ on first key left of right Shift key)
English UK: ✅ (/ on first key left of right Shift key)
French: ✅ (/ on second key left of right Shift key)
Spanish: ❌ (/ on Shift+7)

Copy + Paste the / command does not work on either layout.

How to Reproduce

Independent from connected hardware, changing the OS keyboard layout to German/Spanish and type in a / (Shift+7).

Expected Behavior

Pressing Shift+7 on a German/Spanish keyboard to write a / and have the command menu appear.

Operating System

macOS Ventura 13.1

AppFlowy Version(s)

Version 0.1.0 (1) & Version 0.1.1 (1)

Apologies, did not find a bug report using different keywords but glad that it is already on the radar. :)
