You should be able to edit the one at the top in my image, @sl5net.
Open the Command Palette from the View menu.

Is this character something you're seeing in VS Code only, or any text editor when you press alt + i?

You could check the Keyboard Shortcuts reference (not the JSON one) to see if it's mapped to something else, and remove that mapping. Second one in this image:

Hey @ EryouHao may I know what you mean by reset here? (I am experiencing the same issue).

Is this character something you're seeing in VS Code only, or any text editor when you press alt + i?

it's the normal mapping for option + i on mac:

I guess I'll just map alt+o to up... lol
