Is there a way to use specify keyboard layouts with parentheses in them?

[eike]

I occasionally use my Linux machine with a Mac keyboard and set the operating system's keyboard layout appropriately when I do. In the Keyboard Context view in Zed, the name of the layout is specified as German (Macintosh). However, I cannot find a way to use this in my keymap file. All of

"context": "keyboard_layout == German (Macintosh)"
"context": "keyboard_layout == 'German (Macintosh)'"
"context": "keyboard_layout == \"German (Macintosh)\""

result in parse errors (because of the (, ', and G (!), respectively). Is there a way to do this, or could one be added?

Hi! got the same problem, I opened an issue a week ago and mentioned this discussion: #39900
maybe its helpful for you but i kinda got a workaround for me. Since I have to switch between my macs built-in keyboard and my actual keyboard with a different keyboard layout which creates the same problem as yours I created a kinda fallback solutions:

Place a keyboard_layout context above which doesn't have special characters in them (if applicable) and then place another context below them which has the keybindings for your German (Macintosh) layout but leave context keyboard_layout empty something like this:

"context": "keyboard_layout==English && os==macos"
(macbook keybindings)
...
("fallback" keybindings without keyboard_layout context)
