Hey, thanks for the report. This is a known regression in the new chat interface affecting international keyboard layouts and Option/Alt key combinations.

The team is aware and working on a fix, you can track progress here: ⌥ (Option) shortcuts ignored in AI Panel

Workaround: click the @ icon in the bottom-right corner of the chat input field with your mouse to add context.

Let me know if this helps.
