M-> and M-< are not working on windows with Visual Studio Code 1.15.1

I'm using Visual Studio Code 1.15.1 and I installed only the vscode-emacs-friendly extension. Everything works like a charm, expect this two bindings (M-> and M->).

I can confirm this. I'm unsure about your keyboard settings, but if you use non-US keyboard layout where "<" and ">" is placed differently (not as a combination of SHIFT and "," / "."), the bindings will not work. E.g. on Norwegian keyboard layout, ESC > will have no effect, but using the ALT key to access the US keyboard layout still work, so ESC ALT+SHIFT+. does (as SHIFT . is > on US keyboard). This seems to uncover a serious design flaw in the VSC keyboard bindings in that the actual keyboard layout is disregarded.
Note that this is tested on Windows 10 64-bit with VSC 1.29.1 and EFC 0.8.2

Please tell me, would you consider mapping ESC-< and ESC-> to move to the beginning and end of a buffer? Old emacs supports that same as META-< and META->. I find the two-stroke sequence easier than the three-stroke sequence hold-shift hold-meta hit-key. Thanks for listening.
