Cannot use special characters (e.g. ||) when typing in repl

I am using a German keyboard and the | character is accessible with AltGr, however not when typing into the console with repl... I can use it only when writing above in the Workspace. Any ideas?

Hello! I had kind of the same issue. After a while with using Workspaces, I could not enter signs that required AltGr. I assume you are using Google Chrome! If you are, then simply switch browser to say Firefox! That worked for me! :)

Thanks a lot for the tip - you are right, I am using chrome. I will give it a try with another browser!
