International keyboard layouts not being correctly recognised for shortcuts?

[vitorgalvao]

By default, ⌘/ is Toggle Line Comment. Now lets look at the Portuguese keyboard layout:

As you can see, to do / we need to ⇧7, so ⌘/ is actually ⌘⇧7. This works fine in most apps, but not VSCode, where it was showing the Help menu¹.

Atom has no problem with this (even with the conflicting Help menu shortcut) in the same situation, so there might be an insight in the way they do it.

Using VSCode 0.10.2 on OS X 10.11.1 (15B42).

¹ Default system-wide shortcut is ⌘⇧/, which is interpreted even with ⌘⇧7

@vitorgalvao Please see #713 for a detailed explanation of what's going on.

From my "blind" switching to Portuguese keyboard layout under windows, I think the toggle line comment is Ctrl+~ out of the box for VSCode (the ~^ key).
