The bug
When attempting to bind certain keyboard keys to in-game controls, some nonstandard buttons will be displayed as "scancode.###", where "###" is a three-digit number.
Expected results
These buttons would have proper names displayed in the key binds menu representing what that button actually is.
Actual results
The name of the key is displayed as "scancode.###" instead of the actual key name.

Your report does not need to be confirmed in order to get fixed, this is just a way of showing whether anyone else was able to reproduce the issue.
@unknown please make a new report about the "Meta to Left Alt" since that is a different issue then the scancodes
Can I have ownership of this issue? I can confirm that 23w40a is affected, and have some further information to contribute. The ability to edit this report to organize these results would be very helpful. The original reporter does not seem to have any activity past early 2020.
It's literally been a year and a half can a helper please confirm or resolve this?
