(FYI to others: Gr is Ctrl or AltGr. +/-/* are numpad keys.)

I can't reproduce the issue either using a ISO QWERTZ 105 keyboard (one that has a dedicated numpad).

Thanks, I've updated the description.

After 1 day attempt to use windows 11, I reverted back to 10 but didn't try the new terminal yet.

Now I've tried and see no problem.

Should I close this?

Huh so, AltGr in Terminal on Windows 10 works fine, but not on Windows 11? That's definitely curious, but I'm not sure we'd be able to make more progress investigating without a live repro. I say we close this out for now - if this comes back when you update to Windows 11, then we can reopen and investigate more. Thanks!

@zadjii-msft I have the same issue on windows 11, Ctrl + ^ is expected to bring far manager to the root of the drive, but it is not working

@eaexo I'd recommend filling out a new issue - this one's quite stale at this point. Thanks!
