I cannot reproduce on ubuntu 16.04 with an AZERTY keyboard. No such problem with linux.

I've seen this in Windows too with a custom key configuration. For example I can press . to search for "." in the search menu. But the actual . key when pressed in Blender is interpreted as semicolon and thus doesn't use the same key as in the search! Very confusing. Not sure how to explain this but there's a mismatch between the search field key and the actual key that you press when you're using custom (non-standard) keys.

I also encountered this problem. My mechanical keyboard has some broken switches and I made a new windows keyboard layout for german and replaced the letter "Ö" with "L", as "L" and I didn't need "Ö".

Now in Blender whenever I use a shortcut in the 3d viewport, none with the letter "L" it does not work, but if I write it in any text field it's written correctly as "L", as I assigned it in the custom keyboard layout.

I have a Russian/English keyboard.
There is a '/" key (single/double quotes).

When I press this key on the shortcut input, it's assigned as "double quotes", (stored as 'QUOTE' in keyconfig file).
When I press this key on search input, it's recognized correctly (as expected), as "single quotes".

The issue is present on both Windows and Mac (macbook keyboard).
