Describe your issue

After installation everything was fine. I was able to set the key bindings in Xcode and use them as you would expect. I had set " Shift + Option + ] " or " Shift + } " initially to accept, as recommended and it worked well. Then for some reason, it just stopped working.
When it hit " Shift + Option + ] " now it produces a ’ instead of accepting. Right now Xcode seems to be the only app that returns alt codes when i use this button combination. Some setting in Xcode seems to have changed. Let me know if anyone else has experienced this or if you have any ideas. Thanks.

Update: I have tried to replace the keyboard layout as instructed below and it does not produce special characters anymore. However no binding I make in Xcode works for me anymore with Codeium.

Research direction
This issue requires investigating the keyboard shortcut handling code in the CopilotForXcode extension, likely in the source editor extension handlers. Check if the issue is related to changes in Xcode's key binding preferences or the app's shortcut registration logic. Look at recent commits or related issues for similar reports. The user mentions that no bindings work, suggesting a general failure rather than a specific key combination. Consider testing with different keyboard layouts and Xcode versions.
