[🐛 Bug]: ! not being sent by send_keys() in Python using Swiss keyboard on Mac M1 with Chrome #14847

Description

What happened?

Strangely enough it seems to me that '!' is the only one character I can't write in a web browser field using send_keys().
I even tried to send only "!", and then multiple "!!!". None of them go through.
On my Swiss keyboard the corresponding key is located very next to the Return key, where one would find the } / ] key.
And '}' would go through though, no problem.

How can we reproduce the issue?

browser = webdriver.Chrome()
browser.implicitly_wait(4)
browser.get('https://app.assoconnect.com/login')
browser.find_element(By.ID, "email").send_keys("!")
input("Press Enter to continue...")
exit()
