Sequence CTRL+\ is not detected in some keyboard layouts #8458
Description
Environment
Windows build number: 10.0.19041.0
Windows Terminal version (if applicable): Windows Terminal Preview v1.5.3242.0
Edit: I've updated the description.
Here is the old one.
Steps to reproduce
- Try to use a mapping containing
CTRL+\in an application: for instanceCTRL+\ CTRL+nin Neovim to quit the built-in terminal or by adding a new mapping in tmux.
Actual behavior
Nothing happens. It seems the CTRL+\ sequence is completely ignored by Windows Terminal. I'm using WSL1 with Ubuntu 20.04 but I've tried in Powershell and same issue. I've also tried with another terminal emulator (kitty) and CTRL+\ works fine there.
I found maybe related issues: #1288, #521 but they are marked resolved and I'm still getting the bug. Any idea why?
Steps to reproduce
- Change your keyboard layout to the UK extended layout
- Launch the Terminal and run
showkey -a(I'm using Ubuntu 20.04 in WSL) - Press CTRL-\
Actual behavior
Nothing happens. The CTRl-\ sequence goes undetected by the terminal. I've tried different layouts (US and French) and it works fine, so this issue seems tied to the choice of the keyboard layout.
Expected behavior
CTRL-\ is correctly detected. Maybe related issues: #1288, #521.
