[FR] Can't insert backslash [AltGr + 8]

[ernest33]

Hello,
As the title says i cannot enter a backslash in the terminal...it's a bit hard then to enter a windows path :-)
Regards

This may or may not be related, but I also found that on an English keyboard it's impossible to enter Ctrl+backslash.

I have the same Issue. The terminal does not recognize AltGr, only Ctrl+Alt works.

As @En00x says, AltGr key doesn't work as expected.
There's no way to insert @ character (AltGr +2 on my keyboard).
Instead, "(arg: 2)" is shown on console.

same here for some characters: "#" only works with CTRL+ALT+2, ALT GR + 2 doesn't work (shows "2"). Same for all the special characters on the "number" keys. eg. "{" can be entered with CTRL+ALT+9, but ALT GR + 9 shows "9"

For example: when typing AltGr+9, instead of the expected ']', Repeat:9 is shown at the bottom. Typing CTRL + ALT + 9 does however produce a ']'

AltGr is not working with anything.
Ctrl+Alt works, but feels uncomfortabel

I have a slightly different variation of this but I think it's the same bug. Alt gr + anything produces ^[ (that is ESC [, not a literal ^) + the normal character for that key, e.g. alt gr + 0 is ^[0 instead of an @. Alt + the key (not ctrl + alt) produces the correct character.
This is on mac os 10.12.6, atom 1.19.2, platformio-ide-terminal 2.5.5, french keyboard layout ; it works fine on another computer running linux, atom 1.18.0, same version of platformio-ide-terminal and same keyboard layout.

Same here. AltGr does not work but Ctrl+Alt does work.

I mapped toggle with an F key (jetbrain's default mapping). It would open the terminal, but couldn't close it. The F key gets outputted to the terminal as a tilde.

Any update about this bug ?

[the-j0k3r]

@jeremymontesinos yes read #543

[the-j0k3r]

Also, backslash works just fine in platformio-ide-terminal

So anyone experiencing this type issue test with platformio-ide-terminal 2.9.0.

Also anyone with coffeescript skills should read #426 and we can close all remainder bug reports once xterm is implemented.
