@eliohann you would need a new build of PSReadLine. There isn’t a new beta coming soon, but you can pick up the nightly build which has the fix: https://ci.appveyor.com/project/lzybkr/PSReadLine/branch/master/artifacts

@eliohann I installed the nightly build by replacing files in C:\Program Files\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\PSReadline\2.0.0 And now it works with my custom keyboard layout !
