Unless it's changed recently, IntelliJ IDEA has similar annoyances[0]. Again, using the equivalently placed key works instead. Are they using scan-codes for some reason? Seems extra bizarre given that JetBrains isn't even a US based company!

Someone gave me a likely explanation: Russian developers can’t use the Russian keyboard layout for coding (our assumption). So all of them might have never had to use a non-US keyboard layout for coding :)
