Describe the bug / provide steps to reproduce it

I would like to open the terminal panel with the keybinding "ctrl+`" 'like on VSCode, but instead of opening a new panel, Zed write an "invalid character" in the current file. This character is invisible on Zed, but visible on VsCode

I don't understand how to debug this

Environment

Zed: v0.94.4 (stable)
OS: macOS 13.4.0
Memory: 16 GiB
Architecture: x86_64

If applicable, add mockups / screenshots to help explain present your vision of the feature

No response

If applicable, attach your ~/Library/Logs/Zed/Zed.log file to this issue.

If you only need the most recent lines, you can run the zed: open log command palette action to see the last 1000.

Hmmm, I actually can't reproduce this @Spoutnik97. Would you feel comfortable pasting in your settings.json and keymap.json contents?

[JosephTLyons]

Actually, can you also clarify the keybinding you're using?

[Spoutnik97]

My settings.json :
// Zed settings // // For information on how to configure Zed, see the Zed // documentation: https://zed.dev/docs/configuring-zed // // To see all of Zed's default settings without changing your // custom settings, run the open default settingscommand // from the command palette or fromZedapplication menu. { "base_keymap": "VSCode", "theme": "One Dark", "buffer_font_size": 15, "formatter": { "external": { "command": "eslint", "arguments": [ "{buffer_path}" ] } }, "language_overrides": { "TypeScript": { "format_on_save": { "external": { "command": "eslint", "arguments": [ "{buffer_path}" ] } }, "formatter": "language_server" } } }

keymap.json :

[
  {
    "bindings": {
      "ctrl-ù": "workspace::ToggleBottomDock",
      "ctrl-t": "assistant::Assist"�
    }
  },
  {
    "context": "Editor",
    "bindings": {
      "alt-up": "editor::MoveLineUp",
      "alt-down": "editor::MoveLineDown",
      "alt-shift-down": "editor::DuplicateLine",
    }
  }
]

Just to clarify, I am using an AZERTY (french keyboard on macos). I am using the "ctrl+`" keybinding

I have a similar problem when typing "ctrl-"` on an AZERTY french keyboard on macos, I can't see the character, but some invisible characters are being added to the document (you can see the characters count go up)

default.mov

Temporary solution

The solution was to actually type "ctrl-<" as listed in the "View" menu, even if the default key bindings is configured with :

"ctrl-`": "terminal_panel::ToggleFocus",

Pretty sure this is a duplicate of #5195 and #5196.

Could this be resolved by #17031?

The original issue here (ctrl-` creates an invalid character) should be fixed in recent Zed versions. If I am mistaken, please comment below with reproduction instructions (this does not reproduce for me in AZERTY, Spanish or US English). For more see:
