Quick Fix: Keyboard shortcut CTRL+. shows a small 'e'

Related to the problem reported in #135084

This problem occurs in KDE and the IBus Panel. To fix it you need to remove the keyboard shortcuts for emojis.

@mjbvz if you run vscode in linux with kde desktop with Ibus-daemon enable, the default shortcut Quick Fix <ctrl+.> doesn't work and print a small 'e' character just like this post #135084 (comment). This 'e' is like a special character not exactly letter 'e'.

as a workaround:
If you disable emoji shortcuts from ibus-daemon (run "ibus-setup" to show ibus preferences) the shortcut Quick Fix <ctrl+.> works again.

I'm using this kde distribution:
Operating System: Kubuntu 21.10
KDE Plasma Version: 5.22.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.86.0
Qt Version: 5.15.2
Kernel Version: 5.13.0-28-generic (64-bit)
Graphics Platform: X11

@danjaredg Thank you for the extra info. Since this is a problem caused by the environment, there is nothing we can do on our side to improve. However, I have documented this as a known issue at https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/wiki/Keybinding-Issues#troubleshoot-linux-keybindings :
