Steps to Reproduce:

1. Delete some closing curly brace.
2. It cannot be written again using the keyboard (the event cannot be triggered).

Reproduces without extensions: Yes

You can't retype the closing curly brace? Can you include a gif or screenshot so we're clear?

[roblourens]

That's odd, can you start Code with --disable-extensions and check whether it still reproes?

If so, can you check for errors in the console in Help > Toggle Developer Tools?

i've being running with this issue for 2 months thought i was the only one

EDIT:
After disabling extensions as @roblourens said i fixed this issue.

I started disbling extensions after this and figured out that the extension that was caussing this issue was

Atom Keybindings: ms-vscode.atom-keybindings

I disabled it and solved this issue, i dont know if it is the same case.

I have spanish keyboard layout

[roblourens]

I see both of you have atom-keybindings installed. @deiberdev do you also have a non-english keyboard layout?

[deiberchacon]

Yes, I have a Latin American keyboard layout. I change it to English and now I can type the closing curly brace.

I have moved this issue to microsoft/vscode-atom-keybindings#40

Until the extension is modified to no longer bind keybindings to ctrl+alt+ combinations, the workaround is to search in your keybindings (ctrl+k ctrl+s) for "ctrl+alt+" keybindings, find the offending ones and delete them.
