Steps to Reproduce:

1. Edit keybindings.json
2. Click Define Keybinding (Ctrl + K Ctrl + K)
3. Press Ctrl + / on a Brazilian Keyboard

Expected:
Keys showed should be Ctrl + /

Result:
Keys showed is Ctrl + ;

Details:
I want to set different shortcuts for those combinations of keys, but I can't. For VS Code, Ctrl + ; and Ctrl + / are the same damn thing. By default, pressing these keys, VS Code toggle comments on a line. I want Ctrl + ; to put a semicolon at the end of the line. And Ctrl + / to toggle comments.

Don't you switch between English and Brazilian keyboard layouts?

They share the same key in each layout

[almino]

I won't change keyboard layout for the whole system. Is there a way to do it on VS Code?

[MikeVelazcoMtz]

But if you switch between both keyboard layouts it could be possible to press accidentally Ctrl+; thinking that you are pressing Ctrl+/.

That's what I mean.

[almino]

I changed the layout to English. The Define Keybinding (Ctrl + K Ctrl + K) dialog outputed oem_102 when I pressed /. And / when I pressed ;.

{
  "key": "ctrl+oem_102",
  "command": "editor.action.commentLine",
  "when": "editorTextFocus && !editorReadonly"
}

The code above doesn't work. It toggle comments on a line, when I press both combinations.

Brazilian Keyboard layout doesn't share the same key for ; adn /.

I have validated that we now (i.e. after PR #22894 aka #17521 -- in today's/tomorrow's Insiders build) appear to behave correctly for this keyboard layout

When pressing the scan code combination Ctrl+[Period] (red highlight):

When pressing the scan code combination Ctrl+[Slash] (blue highlight):

This makes me believe the fix in PR #22894 aka #17521 resolves this issue. Please double check in tomorrow's insiders build.

-- Sorry for the English, I used Google Translator --

@alexandrudima I tried to set, but for me still show the wrong or unknown keys.

OS Version: Windows 10
Brazilian Keyboard

Had any more updates on the insiders about?

@Tekbr The OP was using Linux and it appears you are using Windows. Things vary a lot from operating system to operating system, especially related to keyboard layouts.

Can you please create a separate issue with the exact problem you are running into?

[Tekbr]

@alexandrudima Ok, I created the issue #23685
