[DemoType] Characters are not correctly transmitted when using non QWERTY keyboard

[Stephanevg]

I do work with a de-CH keyboard

When using the following snippet in a file:

#This is an example
$ser = get-Service -Name AudioSrv
$ser | get-member

and trigger the shortcut to demotype the text (while using the de-CH keyboard layout).

I did get the following output (Notice the numbers 3 and 7)

3This is an example
$ser = get-Service -Name AudioSrv
$ser 7 get-member

I had to install an english QWERTY keyboard layout, and switch to that one for it to work properly (Thus having # instead of 3 and | instead of 7)

note: the # character is actually located on the number '3' and the | on the 7 on the Swiss German (de-CH) keyboard

note2: I tried with a French keyboard layout (fr-FR) I got the following output

"This is an example
$ser = get-Service

So clearly it looks like the these characters are hardcoded in the tool

Hi @foxmsft is there an update on this one ?
Did you guys managed to reproduce it on your end, and are you working on a fix ?
That would be really great!
