Atom: Backslash (\) and At (@) characters do not work in editor

Created on 23 Feb 2015 · 3Comments · Source: atom/atom

When using the Editor on Windows 8.1, I'm not able to write backslashes and at-signs. Every other application works just fine.
I'm using a german (QUERTZ) keyboard, so the key combinations are Alt Gr + Q for @ and Alt Gr + ß for \. Interestingly I am still able to write them with the Alt + Numpad combinations (Alt + 6 + 4 for @ and Alt + 9 + 2 for \).

Yea this is a known issue with some international keyboard layouts, related to the Alt-Gr key.

'Fraid this is a dupe of this issue. Follow that one for updates...
