Description

  • I have searched the issues of this repo and believe that this is not a duplicate
  • I am on the latest Hyper.app version
  • OS version and name: Windows 10 Professional v1803 (os version 17134.112)
  • Hyper.app version: 2.0.0
  • Link of a Gist with the contents of your .hyper.js: QuantumSheep/250cd236a67c9b49703553cea0aa1967
  • The issue is reproducible in vanilla Hyper.app: Yes, just type a '|' or '{' or '[' and it will not be displayed.

Issue

Some characters can't be typed in Hyper like | or { or [ and some others.
It seems that it's only when the Alt Gr button is pressed.

Research direction

Reproduce this on Windows 10 with Hyper.app 2.0.0 in a vanilla configuration, using Alt Gr with characters such as |, {, and [. Start by locating the TypeScript keyboard-input path and verify how these keystrokes reach the terminal. Done means the affected characters are displayed correctly without breaking other input.
