Original Pull Request: https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/pull/10876

State: closed
Merged: Yes


VkKeyScanW as well as MapVirtualKeyW are used throughout
the project, but are input method sensitive functions.

Since #10666 win+sc(41) is used as the quake mode keybinding,
which is then mapped to a virtual key in order to call RegisterHotKey.
This mapping is highly dependent on the input method and the quake mode
key binding will fail to work once the input method was changed.

PR Checklist

Validation Steps Performed

  • win+` opens quake window before & after changing keyboard layout ✔️
  • keyboard layout changes while WT is minimized trigger reloaded ✔️
