Hi @kingma-sbw I think you wanted umlaut added to the list of keys available to keybindings on https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/getstarted/keybindings#_accepted-keys. I checked with the engineering team and the key list presented there isn't open-ended and so you wouldn't be able to use umlaut in a keyboard shortcut.

The Umlaut is bound on a swiss German keyboard layout (toggle internal terminal) and hence it is an allowed key. Your enigneering team is wrong.

Hi @kingma-sbw

The section https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/getstarted/keybindings#_accepted-keys from the documentation describes the file format of keybindings.json, and the keys that will be parsed from the field key of a keybinding item from that file.

Please accept that the documentation is correct, an umlaut will not be parsed into a valid keybinding from a keybindings.json file. Your screenshot is from the keybindings editor, not from a keybindings.json file, so it is not relevant to the respective documentation section.
