The same error as shown in #13809 also occurs when using the GHCi REPL (Haskell). It is not possible to use combinations with ALT-GR by keyboard or even paste them in.

Many of these could be fixed by updating to [email protected] in https://github.com/Tyriar/pty.js/issues/10

Is there any movement on the syncing issue? I am still seeing this issue in git bash on Windows 10 with the latest release of visual studio code.

https://github.com/Tyriar/pty.js/issues/10 is on the iteration plan for January which should hopefully improve the situation, it's one of the lower priority tasks though so it may not make it in.
