Version: 1.52.1
Commit: ea3859d
Date: 2020-12-16T16:32:10.090Z
Electron: 9.3.5
Chrome: 83.0.4103.122
Node.js: 12.14.1
V8: 8.3.110.13-electron.0
OS: Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS (Linux x64 5.8.0-38-generic)
Gnome: 3.36.8, X11

Also tested on version 1.53.0-insider with the same result.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Have 2 keyboard layouts configured on Linux, the first should be non-US,eg Portuguese (Brazil), the second one should be English (US).
2. Select the second keyboard layout "en"
3. Open VSCode and execute both Developer: Toggle Screencast Mode and Developer: Toggle Keyboard Shortcuts Troubleshooting
4. Open a new file and type the key Ctrl+\ on your keyboard

Expected result:
Screencast bar displays Ctrl+\ and command Go to bracket is executed.

Actual result:
Screencast bar displays Ctrl+] and command Indent Line is executed, rendering the tab character (or spaces).

• Note: it may be easier to reproduce: pressing ; key renders ; character correctly but displays character ç in screencast bar.

• Workaround: changing layout order on Gnome (first "en" then "pt") fixes the shortcut behavior.

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes
