Wrong deDE keybind mapping ( key: "... [" -> key: "... ü" )

[HatiGamedev]

• VSCode Version: 1.2.1 ( 2016-06-14T12:54:38.105Z )
• OS Version: Arch Linux 4.4.14-1-lts
• Keyboard Layout: de

Problem:

VSCode shows that the keybinding is mapped to shift+k ü, If i press this it says no shortcut available.
However shift+k ß the so defined shortcut works.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Add keybinding { key: "shift+k [", command: "cursorRight" }
2. Test in any Text-editor (expected to move right on shift+k ü as shown rather than shift+k ß)

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

Analysis of key code binding shift+k [

• I have added the rule { "key": "shift+k [", "command": "cursorRight" } to my keybindings.json
• the key code binding shift+k is mapped to scan code binding Shift+[KeyK] (I will not go to great detail to explain why, the reason is that [KeyK] produces k)
• the key code binding [ is more interesting.
• [ can be produced through a single scan code combination: Ctrl+Alt+[Digit8]. i.e.:
  
• therefore, the key code binding [ is mapped to the scan code combination Ctrl+Alt+[Digit8]
• this is now correctly reflected in the info hover:

Analysis of pressing [Minus]

We now correctly label it:

And it is possible to bind it to the desired command e.g. with following keybinding rule:

{ "key": "shift+k [minus]", "command": "cursorRight" }

VS Code will now also correctly label it in the info tooltip:

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