Hi Dominik,
I just tried it in the RCP SimpleAdder as well and I can confirm your observations. Previously, I tested it with the JavaFX SimpleAdder and there it's working fine so this is an RCP problem.
If you just need a semicolon as text, you could make a simple workaround by using copyToClipboard and pasting the clipboard with CTRL + V modifier key. Please let us know if you need it for a case where pasting from the clipboard is not a suitable workaround, we will then try to fix it until the next release. I also already filed a bug ticket [1].
Best regards,
Kevin

Hi Dominik,
could you please try it again with the unbound module "ub_app_externalPressAnyKey [MODIFIER_KEYS; BASE_KEY]". As for the parameters enter MODIFIER_KEYS: shift and BASE_KEY: COMMA. This worked for me in SWT. There are two sorts of key combinations: External Key Combination and just Key Combination. Key Combination is the faulty one but External Key Combination seems to work.
Best regards,
Kevin
