How do I fix Turkish keyboard issue with hidden folders shortcut on MacBook Pro?

Since macOS Monterey, the shortcut to hide/show the hidden folders and files has a problem on Turkish Keyboard Layout.

The shortcut (CMD+SHIFT+PERIOD(.)) hides the hidden folders but also makes the view of the icons bigger with every stroke.

I tried it with English and German keyboard layout. Nothings happens but the main function.

Is there anyone that experienced this issue or what is the solution?

Have you trıed the one called Turkısh Q Legacy? I think it may work OK.

But Turkish Q definitely has the bug you mentioned. I wonder if one can change the shortcut for hidden files to something else....

Which of the various Turkish input sources provided by Apple are you using? Do you know if the others have the same problem? This is important to know so that others can try to duplicate the problem on their own machines and perhaps find a fix.

Turkish Keyboard with Q Layout that I tried with different devices and different OS Versions including Monterey. With Turkish F Layout there isn't a problem. However, the Macs with Turkish Keyboard are with Q layout mostly. So many users may affect.

Turkish Q Legacy is the layout that Any Turkish can't use. Besides main function doesn't work with that.

I have a YouTube channel that I give macOS Tutorials in Turkish. Terminal codes are the solutions I give to hide/show hidden folders for new users but it's hard to understand for many users.

Sounds like a bug. File an Apple Bug Report:
