Description

Hi,

Can we have an option to disable the << or >> ligatures? In my case, I am using Typescript, and I often have a nested generic type, such as:

but the ligatures seem to join those last >> and >>> together so the individual > look different than the < and the syntax highlighting makes them all yellow, since I suppose VSCode sees them as a single character/ligature.

Thanks.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating the definitions and configuration for the << and >> ligatures, then determine how an opt-out could be represented and verified for TypeScript nested generic examples; done means those sequences render without the ligature when disabled.
