I have compiled different tags of Vim on Windows 10.
I don't have the problem at version 8.2.4006
But I do have the problem at version 8.2.4007 and later

I cross checked and the issue is present in the new Vim 9.0. I'm afraid without the problem solved I will not be able to use gVim 9.0. What would you suggest me to push the resolution of this problem?

)))) for GTK version which fixes Ctrl+[ for you on linux (i
believe at least, i have just enabled belgian keyboard layout on
my opensuse machine and did some quick tests with it)
Anyway it seems they messed up GTK back-end quite some time ago
already in that respect. Motif back-end (+formerly Athena, now
disappeared - dont know why) still works perfectly but looks
quite ugly - Motif is pretty outdated graphical library as of
today.
For windows part of the problem we need to wait for somebody else
- chances are not so high that I will have similarly big time
slot of spare time to play with mingw compilers on cygwin, and it
seems that checking that on windows will be completely new story
- from scratch again again - seems that every kind of GUI
back-end has subtle differences of obtaining key-codes from
underlying levels of the operating system.
Anyway, it is extremely nice feeling - to know that I am not
alone in PSI who really enjoys using VIM ))))
With best regards, Anton

await users checking this. Perhaps there are more key combinations that
need to be fixed. Looking for GDK_KEY_dead_circumflex I see various
tables and weird key handling.

Patch 9.0.0033 fixes this for GTK, but it is still a problem for MS-Windows

WFM on gvim (Big, GTK3) 9.0.32 i.e. without the patch. Don't forget, however, that on a Belgian keyboard, [ is AltGr+dead-circumflex, therefore Ctrl+[ is Ctrl+AltGr+dead-circumflex.
Best regards,
Tony.

Hi Tony,
I have tested version 9.0.35 and the problem is still present in gVim.
On gVim 8.2 I can escape using: Ctrl+DeadCircumflex
On gVim 9.0 I can't escape neither Ctrl+DeadCircumflex nor Ctrl+AltGr+DeadCircumflex
Remark: The problem is not present on Vim 9.0
Best regards,
Vivian

Anton has created a azerty_ctrl_dead branch in his repository https://github.com/haron13-2019/vim/tree/azerty_ctrl_dead and made a Pull Request (#10687)
This seems to solve the problem on Belgian keyboards.
