On a Scandinavian keyboard with Danish layout you have to press Ctrl + Alt (or just AltGr) + one of <, 2, 8, 9 to type one of \, @, [, ] respectively. In Neovide none of these characters can be typed. Trying to type \ results in ^\ appearing in the bottom right corner and insert/replace/command mode is exited.

I have never encountered this anywhere else.

This is a repeat of #445. The current solution would be to contribute a keyboard layout similar to this one https://github.com/Kethku/neovide/blob/main/src/window/sdl2/layouts/qwerty.rs, but eventually we will rely on winit to handle keyboard layouts correctly as outlined in the keyboard handling issue

I would be happy to give pointers for how to contribute a Danish keyboard layout if you are interested in doing that

I looked into it, but I don't think I can justify doing it if that winit pr is merged soon, which it looks like it is.
