Incompatibility with Keyman software e.g. IPA keyboard #1539

What's the problem

When this extension is enabled the Keyman software doesn't work correctly e.g. with the IPA keyboard. This keyboard software makes use of modifier keys like = and ^ but these modifier keys seem to be intercepted or altered by Markdown All in One. More information at https://community.software.sil.org/t/some-ipa-key-combinations-not-working-in-vs-code/10768

What's the expected result

I want to type characters in minority languages and in IPA. If I have the Keyman IPA keyboard enabled, I would expect if I type n= it would result with the character ɲ.

How to reproduce

  1. Install Keyman
  2. Download the IPA keyboard
  3. Enable IPA keyboard (usually by pressing windows + space)
  4. Open VS Code with the Markdown All in One extension enabled
  5. Open a file with the .md extension
  6. Type n= . If it works correctly it should result in the the character ɲ.

Other information

I realise you might not be interested in fixing incompatibility with other software but I thought I'd at least report it so others are aware. My current workaround is to disable Markdown All in One and just enable it occasionally e.g. for formatting tables (which is a really useful feature).
