Originally created by @leoshusar on GitHub (Jun 2, 2021).

Windows Terminal version (or Windows build number)

Microsoft Windows [10.0.19043.1023]

Other Software

No response

Steps to reproduce

  • open WSL 2
  • open touch keyboard
  • type any "AltGr char" (I tried for example @, $, €, [, ], ^ on Czech keyboard or € on English keyboard)

Expected Behavior

Those characters should work normally

Actual Behavior

When I write those characters, they won't appear in WSL and Windows "error" sound plays.
One difference I found is when you write # char, it writes it and sends "return" (or newline) after it.

It doesn't matter if I open WSL in Terminal, Console, or if I open PowerShell and then run wsl command. Those AltGr chars just stops working.
