[Bug]: Keyboard shortcuts can't work on Android browsers

[html5syt]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues

OS/Web Information

• Web Browser:Kiwi browser(base on chromium),Firefox,Via(base on Android system WebView)
• Local OS:proot Ubuntu(Termux)
• Remote OS:same up↑(use 127.0.0.1)
• Remote Architecture:aarch64(arm64)
• code-server --version:4.17.1

Steps to Reproduce

1. open code-server.
2. return to desktop and open browsers.
3. open 127.0.0.1:8888
4. login
5. open"keyboard shortcuts (Ctrl+k Ctrl+s)"
6. touch pen on left and try to change keyboard shortcuts.

Expected

I can change it and the input will show it,such as"Ctrl+Alt+h",and I can use it normally in editor.

Actual

When I try to change it,the input show like "Ctrl+unknown" and I can't use it normally.

I tried all of the keyboard on Android that they can input Ctrl and so on. I tried the keyboard on other website that can use keyboard shortcuts and they're work correctly.

Why I don't use physical keyboard?Because I don't have Bluetooth keyboard and I want to use vscode without physical keyboard.

Logs

It's too big,and I will put a file under.(you maybe should change .txt.png to .txt)

Does this issue happen in VS Code or GitHub Codespaces?

• I cannot reproduce this in VS Code.
• I cannot reproduce this in GitHub Codespaces.

Are you accessing code-server over HTTPS?

• I am using HTTPS.

Notes

PLEASE DON'T care about "I am using HTTPS. "check box.On local address can't have HTTPS!I'm only check it to avoid check.

I don't have schedule to use code-server in this phone on other machine.

add this to your seeting.json

{
    "keyboard.dispatch": "keyCode"
}

@zongou I added this to the documentation, maybe this configuration could be enabled by default on mobile browsers? not sure on the feasibility of this, perhaps a core contributor can comment on this.

it is easy to change the default value, i agree that we should change the default value. PR will come soon

If at all possible, see if it can be changed upstream, I think Microsoft would want Codespaces to work well on mobile browsers as well. The fewer patches we have to maintain the better!

Sorry,I have too things to do...

I will try your solutions next week.
And imagine if we can use Vscode locally and coding everywhere without computer, What a wonderful way this will be!

@zongou Thank you!Your solution work!
