Short description of error
I want to use '`' key as shortcut, but it doesn't work with "unsupported key: unknown" message. The same behavior. All these keys work in all other apps.
I have the french Macbook Pro layout.
Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
Try to change a shortcut with the mentioned keys using a MacBook Pro keyboard.
I can confirm. It work on RELEASE but not on PRESS.
It seems that ACCENT_GRAVE is acting as a "dead key" in the French layout.

Unsupported key is not a bug. Some keyboards have more keys than others and these extra keys have often not been mapped by Blender.
But if I understood correctly the comment of @Yevgeny Makarov (jenkm), the same key works with RELEASE and does not work with PRESS?
Can you confirm?
If so, this looks like a bug.
There is another report T62456 related to the "dead key" feature which is not resolved but closed.
It works fine if you have U.S. layout, or ABC-Extended. If I change it to British-PC, the ` key changes to \ and it no longer works even if I press alt+\ which should type `. As Alphisto mentioned there in T62456#812071, all the layouts will have to be mapped to US one if this is to be fixed..
The bug described in T62456, with Option + E, Option + U, Option + I, Option + N, Option + ~ keys is present with U.S. and ABC-Extended layout. Although it may depend on type of apple keyboard "US English" (ANSI type) or "International English" (ISO type).
I'm not sure if it's possible to use a French keyboard with an English layout, because it has completely different printed letters on the keys.
I think I had read it as French input source, instead of printed keys being in French.
Will confirm since printed keys should be registered correctly,
@oolso (oolso) Could you make a temporary standard account to see what is the default input source with French keyboard? (since there are 6 in mine under French language)
Hey, sure @Ankit Meel (ankitm), i'll be happy to help, what do you mean by "standard account" ?
User account, in System Preferences.
Then switch to the new user account and see what is the Input Source there.
You can then switch to original and delete the newer one.
Allright, I just did it, the standard input source is the one called "French - Numerical"
In all other programs, shortcuts work in any keyboard language. Figma, All Adobe, Corel, all Microsoft.
This is a mistake, and very interfering with work.
Hello, I struggling learning blender with this similar issues on MacPro or iMacPro OSX 10.13 or 11.6 with Blender 3.x with a QWERTZ Swiss French Layout as well. Unable to use Preferences > Keymap I'm trying to replace all ` key by § as for example. Always have "Unsupported key: Unknown" the highlighted blue button "Press a key" does not record "ctrl §" for instance. Why ? Thx !
