Type { (on a French keyboard on Mac, at least). On a Mac, this is done by typing Option-(, where ( is on the same key as 5.
Expected result
Vim should go to the beginning of the current paragraph.
Actual result
Instead Obsidian inserts the typed character, as a block (“{}”).

Additional information
The problem is the same for similar characters like [, } and ]. It likely comes from the fact they require some key modifiers (like Option, in this case), on non-US keyboards.
PS: a similar problem happens with the ^ command (start of line): on a French keyboard, typing a ^ is obtained by pressing the ^ key followed by a space (so as to indicate that no letter goes underneath). This works in vanilla Vim, but not in Obsidian’s Vim mode (where ^ is inserted even when starting in normal mode—Vim starts by doing this too, but then switches to beginning-of-line when following this with a space).
I confirm that this works in 1.1.15, thanks a lot!!
For reference, there are other issues related to non-QWERTY keyboards, such as the backtick (`) for jumping to a mark or the caret (^) for going to the first non-blank character, which are not recognized as commands (but are instead inserted as text), but I understand that this is an issue that’s outside of Obsidian’s direct control.
