"Open in Powershell" shortcut not possible on german keyboard

See original GitHub issue

I have a German keyboard and I cannot figure out what I should press to open the command line / powershell. strg+` does not work. strg+shift+` neither. On a German keyboard, you have to use shift to write a ` char.

Also: I can write a ` sign, but only if I either press it twice and delete one tick or I have to press it and then follow up with a space. While writing this, i played around. If I switch my keyboard layout to English, I noticed your ` sign is much more like every other key. To reproduce the issue, I suggest you install a German keyboard layout (switching between keyboard layouts on windows is done via alt+shift. Maybe use it together with a picture of a German keyboard? the backtick is 2 key right from the 0 (zero):

I would suggest you switch to the shortcut strg+^ for German keyboards or at least fix the shortcut detection code to make it work. It currently does not work at all. [Description of the issue]

I just noticed “open visual studio code” is strg+shift+a. I happen to have this as a system wide shortcut as i never encountered another app using this shortcut for something useful.

sooo, what about letting me and other users configure shortcuts in the program?

The shortcut to open the terminal is always Ctrl+`, since Cmd+` is used by the system on macOS.
