  • OS Version: OSX El Capitan

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. On Mac open Code>Preferences>Keyboard Shortcuts
  2. Click the Blue "Define Keybinding" Button in the bottom right hand corner
  3. Define a keybinding that ends with the \ character such as ctrl+alt+cmd+\
  4. Notice that the \ character is not properly escaped, and instead escapes the last " character in the object that is added to keybindings.json, causing the strings to not be recognized correctly.
