Description

Extracted from https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/36635

From @deiberdev @mnunezdm

The extension most likely binds keys to ctrl+alt+.... This should not be done, as it impairs users that use a non US keyboard layout on Windows.

e.g. Spanish keyboard layout, Latin American keyboard layout

Confirm which binding prevents the closing curly brace from being written, then verify that the character can be entered without disrupting the intended shortcuts.
