vscode: Visual Studio Code: '/' being considered as CtrlRight, so toggle line comment can't be used, doesn't work

• VSCode Version: 1.52.1
• OS Version: Pop_OS! 20.0.4

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Try to use toggle comment doesn’t recognize my ‘/’ as ForwardSlash, troubleshoot show it’s reading and right control
2. Can’t Re assign the same shortcut because it doesn’t read th character

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

I’m on Pop_OS! 20 and am using Visual Studio Code 1.52.1. Keyboard Layout : Portuguese, Brazil , IBM/Lenovo Thinkpad And I’m using a t460. Keyboard Image.

I can’t use the shortcut for commenting anymore ctrl +/ it simply stopped working.

While typing around on the VS Code i can type “/” and use ctrl correctly, most of shortcuts seem to be fine.

But when trying to assigning a new shortcut ,for the toggle line command, it doesn’t accept my ‘/’ key as ‘/’ when typed it say it is “ctrl”. So if i try to asign ctrl + / it will remain as “ctrl +” image with what i’m describing. If i only type “/” it say it’s “ctrl” too, what i’m supposed to do ? can i change the mapping to this key on VS Code ? Image with visual layout showing key typed test.

It’s not accepting my keyboard layout to define new shortcuts it seems at least not with this key. I’m using a Brazil, IBM/Lenovo Thinkpad layout. And the machine keyboard i’m on is a thinkpad too…

keyboard troubleshot: (type ‘ctrl’ release key , type ‘/’ released key, type ‘ctrl’ then type ‘/’ then released ‘/’ then released ‘ctrl’.)

Just realized it’s considering my forward backslash or forward slash as ControlRight, but the layout used is the correct one.
