💻 Code

interface A<T extends Record<string, string> {
 nested: T
}


function a<T extends A<{id: string}>>(t: T) {
 b(t, 'id') // good
 b(t, '-id') // Bug?
}
function b<T extends A<any>>(t: T, sort: keyof T['nested'] & string | `-${keyof T['nested'] & string}`) {

}

🙁 Actual behavior

Template string doesn't work as expected

🙂 Expected behavior

The example should compile without error

Yeah, that ought to work. Here's a simpler repro:

function a<T extends {id: string}>() {
 let x: keyof T & string | `-${keyof T & string}`;
 x = "id"; // Ok
 x = "-id"; // Error, but should be ok
}
