Closing curly brace cannot be written

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

@deiberdev @mnunezdm I've updated the mappings for folding which seem to be the ones that collide. I don't have a non-us keyboard so you could try to pull master of this extension and help me validate?

Just installed from vsix and unfortunately the issue is still here

This is my current layout

I can test later in a full desktop keyboard

I've also updated the mappings (like @auchenberg in 546a547), and now I can retype the closing curly brace with ctrl+alt+} and alt+gr+}. This solution works fine.

@mnunezdm Thanks for trying it out. Did you pull master of this repo or use the published version?

[mnunezdm]

Yes, I removed the extension, install it from the pulled version and tried it out and nothing worked

I got the same trouble, I cannot input the } in some times. Then, I open the DevTool(> Toggle Developer Tools) and type } key in the situation. I got the ERR on my } key input timing:

ERR Cannot read property 'length' of undefined: TypeError: Cannot read property 'length' of undefined
