Here is a fragment of winsup/console.cc:

    else /* keep it */                                             
      {                                                            
        if (input_rec.Event.KeyEvent.dwControlKeyState &           
>                        (LEFT_ALT_PRESSED | RIGHT_ALT_PRESSED))    
          {                                                        
            char tmp[2];                                           
            tmp[0] = tolower(input_rec.Event.KeyEvent.AsciiChar);  
            tmp[1] = 0;                                            
            buf[copied_chars++] = '\033';                          
            undo_input(hndl, tmp);                                 
          }                                                        
        else
