VS Code extension: Enter used to commit an IME conversion submits the inline comment on a plan

Description
In the VS Code extension, when writing an inline comment on a selected part of a plan, pressing Enter to commit an IME conversion (Japanese input) is treated as "submit the comment" instead of "confirm the conversion".
As a result, unconverted or half-written text gets submitted, which makes it practically impossible to finish writing a comment in Japanese.
Steps to reproduce
- Open a plan in the VS Code extension
- Select any part of the plan to open the inline comment input
- Switch to Japanese input (IME) and type some text
- Press Enter to commit the IME conversion
- The comment is submitted instead of the conversion being committed
Expected behavior
- Submitting an inline comment should be bound to Cmd + Enter
- Enter alone should commit the IME conversion and insert a newline
- Enter pressed while an IME composition is active should never submit
This is not limited to Japanese — the same problem should occur for any language that uses an IME, such as Chinese and Korean.
