Good for you!!

This bug is annoying me.

I had to switch to PHPStorm, there is no such bug in there.

For me, it's happening the same bug as described by @ferox
None of the special characters áéíóúäëïöüâêîôû and all the others like this are accepted on the build-in terminal and the integrated one.

This is definitely a VS Code bug. Everything is working as expected with Yakuake and PHPStorm 2020.2 terminal.

I'm using Fedora 33 KDE Spin. If I type characters that have a key of its own it works fine, but if I use a modifier it doesn't. It either shows an unmodified character or something else completely. I have two layouts, German QWERTZ and Spanish Spain.

I'm digging it to find the bug.
So I just installed Atom with the x-terminal plugin (https://github.com/bus-stop/x-terminal). X-Terminal is a fork of atom-xterm. So this annoying bug also occurs in Atom Text Editor.

Atom version: 1.51.0
Electron version: 5.0.13
Node version: v12.0.0
X-Terminal version: 10.0.1

After some tests and research on a few VMs an baremetal too, we have this results (all with the most up-to-date versions)
VScode on F33KDE or F33workstation => bug
VScode on F31KDE => bug
VScode on F32workstation => bug
VScode on F31cinnamon or F33cinnamon => NO BUG!!!!!

We found that using electerm (a project that uses xterm too) the problem mimics the results above.

It seems that on F32 Cinnamon the bug shows too on my setup, on VScode and on Electerm.

hmm, does that mean that it's an Electron issue?

No, maybe in the xterm.js
