Same with norwegian keyboard.
AltGr does not work, with the exception of ~ and ´
Norwegian keyboard require AltGr for: @ £ $ € { [ ] } ´ ~ € µ

The same issue exists for Swiss German keyboards. All the characters using Alt + Ctrl or AltGr do not work.

Can confirm on Windows - although they work on Linux

Sorry about that folks - forcing myself to use a different keyboard layout until this is fixed :)

Also suffering from this bug.

Sorry, I push a fix tonight (it's sitting on my computer at home).
I'll try to get a new beta release out soon - there are a couple more fixes that I think are important to fix before another release.

I just installed 6.1.0-preview.1 and the issue still persists. Do you know when the fix will be distributed? Without altgr, PS core is quite unusable on foreign keyboard layouts.

@flxflx - All releases of PowerShell Core ship with a fork of PSReadLine 1.2, and I thought AltGr works with that release.

I thought I introduced the bug with AltGr in PSReadLine 2.0.0-beta1 - which you may have installed from the PowerShell Gallery.

I have a few more important fixes before releasing another 2.0.0-beta2, but you can grab a build with the AltGr fix from appveyor here.

@lzybkr PowerShell doesn't even start with that build:

The shell cannot be started. A failure occurred during initialization:
The static PrimaryRunspace property can only be set once, and has already been set.

@thorstenkampe - I can't reproduce that error on Windows (with either powershell.exe or pwsh.exe) - but I do need to run Unblock-File before the module will load correctly.

Are you running on Linux or Mac?

Unblocking the module directory solved the issue, thanks.
