Cannot input backslash in command window (German keyboard layout) #219

Open bw-86 opened 1 month ago

bw-86 commented 1 month ago

When I try to enter a backslash via AltGr+ß on my German keyboard layout, the focus jumps inside the text of the command window and marks an earlier command or its output. This is a useful feature and I would love to have it available.

In order to input a backslash into a command, I have to copy/paste it from somewhere else or switch to a different keyboard layout (English works, of course).

Thank you for your valuable feedback and bringing this bug to our attention. We are able to reproduce this issue and are working on a fix. Until the fix is released, you can disable this behavior by enabling the "Disable keyboard shortcut to jump by section in command window output" setting (see below):

Settings -> Command Window -> Disable keyboard shortcut to jump by section in command window output

Once the fix is released, you may uncheck this setting, if you would like to use this feature for highlighting sections in the command window output pane :

Highlight previous section : Ctrl + [ (Oem4) Highlight next section : Ctrl + ] (Oem6)
