Tilde/backtick mapped improperly
It seems that with newer versions, the keyboard mapping behaviour is affected by the keyboard type you have selected at the time you establish the connection. What I find is that if I connect using a US keyboard, then all my keys are mapped correctly. If, however, I use Canadian English my tilde/backtick key gets mapped to pipe/backslash…this, even though I have a US layout keyboard. The program is clearly not using the proper key codes but is doing its own mapping somehow.
8.0.17 Edit: Says Canadian English is fixed but the tilde/backtick still maps incorrectly to the pipe/backslash key for me. :(
