I'm facing a perplexing issue in Visual Studio Code where the string "<ctrl63>" is unexpectedly appearing in my code when using autocompletion. I'm pretty sure it's related to Copilot.
Here's a couple of random examples of how it just throws in the <ctrl63>:
```
app.get (""), (req, res) => {
res.send("This is the home page.");<ctrl63>
}
```
'''
const express = require('express');
const app = express();
const port = 3000;
app.get('/', (req, res) => {
res.send('Hello World!');
});
app.listen(port, () => {
console.log(`Example app listening at http://localhost:${port}`);
});<ctrl63> This code will create a simple web server that listens on port 3000. When a request is made to the root URL ('/'), the server will send the response 'Hello World!'.

Checking Keyboard Shortcuts: I've reviewed the keyboard shortcuts in Visual Studio Code to ensure that "<ctrl63>" is not inadvertently mapped to any action.
Disabling Extensions: I've disabled all extensions in Visual Studio Code, including Copilot, to rule out any extension-related conflicts. No auto complete, no issues when Copilot is disabled.
Reviewing Code Editor Settings: I've reviewed my Visual Studio Code settings and configurations to see if there's anything that might be causing this issue, but haven't found any relevant settings.
Apparently this happens when you combine the aaron-bond.better-comments extension with an extension that provides inline completions such as the GitHub Copilot extension. I don't know why this happens. As a workaround, you could consider disabling one of those extensions- either better comments, or the inline completions extension.
