can't type backtick/backquote in sql editor

See original GitHub issue

System information:

Windows 10 with AZERTY keyboard and French Locales
dBeaver 6.1.5
drivers Mysql and Postgres

Connection specification:

Mysql 5.6
mysql
No tunnel, no proxy

Describe the problem you’re observing:

When in an SQL editor, I can’t type backquote (`) in my query. Very problematic when typing mysql tables names.

Please note that it’s possible to copy & paste a backquote and it works. So it’s more a question of an ignored key sequence.

Also note that on a french keyboard, the backquote is obtained through a Dead_key (cf. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead_key )

Steps to reproduce, if exist:

Dbeaver on Windows with Azerty keyboard > open SQL editor > type backquote (`) > no backquote

Include any warning/errors/backtraces from the logs

FYI, this bug fixed itself some times ago (sorry I didn’t notice when exactly).

It is. I now recommend french developers to install and use another windows keyboard map like http://planetozh.com/projects/azertyck/
