Bug: Unable to type lowercase letters (a–l) in editor on Microsoft Edge #5684

Description:

While solving the problem "string-encode-and-decode" on NeetCode, I encountered an issue with the code editor when using Microsoft Edge.

Specifically, I am unable to type lowercase letters from a to l in the editor. These keys either do not respond or behave incorrectly. However, uppercase letters work fine.


Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Open Microsoft Edge browser
  2. Go to: https://neetcode.io/problems/string-encode-and-decode
  3. Click on the code editor
  4. Try typing lowercase letters (a–l)

Expected Behavior:

All lowercase letters (a–z) should be typed normally in the editor.


Actual Behavior:

Lowercase letters from a to l are not being typed correctly in the editor, while other keys and uppercase letters work as expected.


Additional Information:

  • Browser: Microsoft Edge
  • Issue does not occur in other browsers (e.g., Chrome)
  • Issue may be related to keyboard handling or editor compatibility in Edge

Possible Cause (Optional):

This might be related to a conflict between the Monaco editor (or similar editor used by NeetCode) and Edge-specific keyboard handling or extensions.
