  • VSCode Version: 1.24.0-insider
  • OS Version: macOS High Sierra

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Press ⎇Z
  2. Observe how word wrap changes instead of "ż" being typed

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

⎇ is used by some languages as an input group switcher (meaning each key gets a second meaning) so using ⎇ (without other modifiers like control, command) in hotkeys means we cannot type some letters.

A simple workaround is to remove the keybinding in keybindings.json:

{
    "key": "alt+z",
    "command": "-editor.action.toggleWordWrap"
}

I managed to fix this on my end. This issue is here mainly to bring this to attention of VSCode maintainers. Consult Wikipedia for a list of keyboard layouts depending on AltGr.

I'm sorry about the conflict, but given a workaround exists, I suggest we leave it as it is. The real fix here is for VS Code to ship with keybindings optimized per keyboard layout which can be upvoted in #1240
