Not able to type certain characters in non-US keyboards

See original GitHub issue

One of our users at freeCodeCamp faced an issue in typing certain characters while using their Czech keyboard in their Mac. In the Czech keyboard the only way to type [ or ] is <kbd>Option</kbd> + <kbd>[</kbd> or <kbd>Option</kbd> + <kbd>]</kbd>. You can type those characters easily in VSCode and in any other app in MacOS but in monaco-editor playground and in our editor UI, which uses monaco-editor, it doesnโ€™t work. Nothing gets typed when you try to type those two characters.

Discourse link to our forum about the issue - https://forum.freecodecamp.org/t/cannot-type-the-inside-exercises/465050

monaco-editor version: 0.25.1 Browser: All browsers OS: MacOS Playground code that reproduces the issue:

We just published the recovery release โ€œ0.25.2โ€ that should fix this issue. You can try out the updated editor here: https://microsoft.github.io/monaco-editor/playground.html.

We would appreciate if you could verify that this solves the issue!
