I have a hunch that this is because
Ctrl+?is the ASCII 'delete' control character.luidera22 commentedon Mar 12, 2024
I'm afraid it is not the case, since I'm having the same issue but with shift. I set "Shift+E" and I can't type "E" in uppercase at all, since it recognizes the "Shift+E" as uppercase "E". So yeah, if I use CAPSLOCK and then type "E" it would execute the command but not show the letter at all. It also applies to pasting. If I paste, let's say: "I LOVE BURGERS" it would then output "I LOV BURGRS".
As you can see in the images, I have set the command like the documentation suggests but in the pwsh it shows as I set just the uppercase letter.
