Vscode: The ability to type anything with a keyboard is offensive to lots of people who suffered limbs diseases

[MaksimMedvedev]

I find myself very lucky not to have such a terryfying disease but I feel it's offensive and humiliating for the talented people who want to program.
I do want to be sure that such horrible situation is well handled by MS since the problem is challenging our honest and tolerant world.

• VSCode Version: latest Production build
• OS Version: Windows_NT x64 10.0.18362

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Launch VS Code
2. Try to type anything in the edit window

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes

I think you should open an issue on keyboard's repo.

(I think you opened this issue because you read about the santa hat removal. The holiday logo is configurable on insider edition settings.json -> holiday.gearIconStyle)
See #87440

Keyboard support is planned for removal in December release by default (due out mid jan) - you can re-enable in settings though by carefully dragging characters from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_alphabet you need to change keyboardDisabled to false

Thank you very much, I hope MS would bring its sincerest apologies to people who were abused by this incident!
