Why the genetric type can not be used as type for keys?
type Test<T extends string, V extends unknown> = {
  [Key: T]: V;
}

type Test<T extends string, V extends unknown> = {
  [Key in T]: V;
}

From the code above, T extends string,why T can not be used as Key's type and it output an error An index signature parameter type cannot be a literal type or generic type. Consider using a mapped object type instead. But if replace Key: T with Key in T, it works.

I think what you're looking for in TypeScript is called Utility Type - Record

For example:

type Test<T extends string, V extends unknown> = Record<T, V>;
