Bug report

Bug description:

print(f"{x}") # Cannot type this properly
print(things[0]) # Cannot type this properly

The following characters cannot be entered in the python 3.13.x shell on Windows: {, }, [, ].
They are simply ignored (this is with a German keyboard layout on Windows 10, if that is relevant). If you paste code with them, they are missing in the paste. A work-around I randomly found: typing a [ followed by the character you intended, will give you that character.

CPython versions tested on:

3.13

Operating systems tested on:

Windows
