The other day, I ran into a problem while coding in VS Code — the default terminal shortcut Ctrl+` just wouldn't work on my new laptop. After digging around, I found out that some CJK IMEs hook this shortcut for their own use. The good news is that the key combination can still be captured by a global hotkey, so I put together a small tool that registers it and forwards the keypress to VS Code. And it actually worked — lucky me!
