Description

  • VSCode Version: Code 1.11.0 (9122ec4b1068bd391e41974f46a4b54c1b9c90f9, 2017-04-05T21:13:24.700Z)
  • OS Version: Linux x64 4.4.0-72-generic

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Install and activate Neo keyboard layout
  2. Open any source file in VS code
  3. Put cursor somewhere in the file
  4. Press M4 key and hold. Press s key (see image)
  5. Instead of the cursor moving left, nothing happens

In the previous version of VSCode (1.10.2 8076a19fdcab7e1fc1707952d652f0bb6c6db331) this worked just fine .
