MongoDB blocking some of my key inputs

Greetings As the title says I have problems with my key input in mongodb. Installing it worked fine for me but once we were supposed to use "dp.post.insert({title: "horray!"}) I could not type the { and the }. My command prompt didnt accept the input and I simply received a short beep noise from my pc. This problem is only exclusive to mongodb once I cancel the program input works fine again for me. I tried out git bash and windows cmd and both had the same problem. Did I somehow set mongodb up wrong? Or is this simply a bug? Because then I rather should contact mongodb itself. Though I searched a bit and found noone else having input problems with mongodb.

You are doing this, or trying to anyway, inside the Mongo Shell, correct? And you have an active instance of a MongoDB server running or are connected to one?

Sorry I didnt see someone commented too it. Yes iam doing this inside the Mongo Shell and I do have an active instance of MongoDB running. I started the instance by starting mongod. Dont know if that counts as a MongoDB Server or just an instance of MongoDB.
