Description

Describe the bug
I am using web browser to connect vs code server in my ipad.
When I pressed down k or j in the web browser, the cursor didn’t move continuously. It just show some grave accents.

There is no way of setting key-repeating in documents for this condition which use remote connection in vs code server.

To Reproduce
Please try to connect vs code server in iPad web browser and press down k for a second, don’t move up.

Expected behavior
I hope to move the cursor continuously and rapidly when i press down k or j.
