Description
Describe the bug
I have duplicates character when using special characters in Mac OS. But this bug does not occur if there is a character before or if is the first character of line. This Bug is created by Vim because that is not reproducing if I disable the vim extension.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- long press one key with special characters. For example
a - Selection window is displayed
- press number for select special characters
1 - VSCode write
aà
Expected behavior
write only the special character
Screenshots

Research direction
No files or tests are named. Start by reproducing the macOS special-character input with VSCodeVim enabled and disabled, then trace the extension's handling of the long-press selection. Done means selecting a character such as à inserts only that character, including at the reported line positions and with a Greek keyboard.
