Can't insert "@" char in command line

[informatica92]

Hi everybody,
I recently started to use this plugin and it is very powerful and flexible but I noticed a strange behavior:
If I type the "@" (the "at" character) in a remote ssh session started with
aws ssm start-session --target "<instance-id>"
the character is simply ignored.
This makes impossible to type any email address for example.

I also tried the in-browser version and it works with no issues.

On my Windows machine I also tried classical cmd and new Windows terminal but same stuff.

Do you have the same issue?

Does that happen if you try from another machine without your personal terminal config/setup?

I try to run echo and ping command with "@" in linux and mac terminal, it works well. Would you mind share more step on how to reproduce it.

@informatica92 what keyboard layout do you have? spain?

See: #51

[angelo-gelmini]

The problem can be replicated with CMD version of the aws cli.
The special characters: @òàù cannot bw writed.
Italian keyboard QWERTY.

I experience the same problem. All special characters result in garbage in the terminal. With normal ssh sessions from the terminal I don't experience that problem.
I have a Swiss German keyboard layout and I'm using Git-Bash on Windows 11.

@Yangtao-Hua is nobody at aws able to provide a fix for this? The issue is in the go library for the keyboard input (https://github.com/eiannone/keyboard) which is not maintained anymore... Here is a fix #51 for { and [ (german keyboard) and it shows also how to fix the @ for spain keyboard.

The plugin is unusable for us as long as no brackets work... so we have to continue using ssh.

For others who are looking for a solution... You can also build the binaries yourself... here is a branch with the fixes for German keyboards:

For Spain, you can try removing the line mentioned here: #51
