No response

Steps to reproduce

  1. Use a Swiss German keyboard, and the corresponding Swiss German keyboard layout
  2. Just to check: Press the § key while focussing a text field, and see an § appear. Press Ctrl-Alt-5, and the same § should appear.
  3. Bind the quakeMode action to § with the Terminal Settings window.

Expected Behavior

Pressing the § opens a quake mode window.

Actual Behavior

  1. Pressing the § key does not open a quake mode window.
  2. Pressing the (equivalent) Ctrl-Alt-5 does open a quake mode window.

A new section appears in settings.json with these contents:

        {
            "command": 
            {
                "action": "quakeMode"
            },
            "keys": "\u00a7"
        },
