@rjfmachado Can you try without PSReadline module? (Remove-Module PSReadline)

[rjfmachado]

That resolves the altgr combos, but home/end still do not work, HOME does go to the start of the line, but prints 1~, END only prints 4~

[rjfmachado]

also, when using without PSReadline, occasionally the cursor jumps to the start of the line for no reason (changed by cursor to make this easier to see). I was just hitting backspace.

@daxian-dbw Could you please comment the Issue?

@rjfmachado Does Portuguese keyboard works as expected with pwsh on Windows (win 10)?

[rjfmachado]

Yes, all keys work and PSReadline also has no issues. I only see this on Linux, I'm using the inbox ssh on Windows 10 if this helps (Windows 10 18363, OpenSSH_for_Windows_7.7p1, LibreSSL 2.6.5)

[iSazonov]

@rjfmachado Could you please add more info about your scenario? Do you use Windows terminal, open SSH session to Linux and run pwsh?

[rjfmachado]

That's it, Windows Terminal calling ssh to ubuntu 18.04 then from bash, run pwsh-preview

[rjfmachado]

the 7.0.0 GA fixed the AltGr combinations, home/end issue remains

[rjfmachado]

I stumbled upon the fact that Alt + Home/End actually work as Home/End when PSReadLine is removed, but not with PSReadline loaded.

[iSazonov]

It is dup #8869

Alt+Home and Alt+End is most likely this .Net issue - see dotnet/runtime#802
