Steps to reproduce

I'm using a GK64 keyboard, with Swedish keyboard layout.

CTRL+ALT+<number> is not working out.

I'm currently working around this by using conhost.exe instead of Windows Terminal, which does not exhibit this issue.

Initially thought this was a PowerShell issue (issue). But I closed that one and opened this instead.

Expected Behavior

  • CTRL+ALT+2 inserts '@'
  • CTRL+ALT+4 inserts '$'
  • CTRL+ALT+5 inserts '€'

Actual Behavior

  • CTRL+ALT+2 inserts nothing
  • CTRL+ALT+4 inserts nothing
  • CTRL+ALT+5 inserts nothing

I found an older issue where this issue was solved:

https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/issues/10349#issuecomment-855963803

Add this to settings.json (LCtrl+LShift+,)

"actions":
[
    { "command": "unbound", "keys": "ctrl+alt+1" },
    { "command": "unbound", "keys": "ctrl+alt+2" },
    { "command": "unbound", "keys": "ctrl+alt+3" },
    { "command": "unbound", "keys": "ctrl+alt+4" },
    { "command": "unbound", "keys": "ctrl+alt+5" },
    { "command": "unbound", "keys": "ctrl+alt+6" },
    { "command": "unbound", "keys": "ctrl+alt+7" },
    { "command": "unbound", "keys": "ctrl+alt+8" },
    { "command": "unbound", "keys": "ctrl+alt+9" }
]

Unbinding these solved my issue. I can now type @, $ and € in the console.
