Why vscode shortcuts don't work properly?

Question

I've recently updated my VSCode and most of its shortcuts don't work anymore. I tried to reinstall my VSCode but it didn't work. I've checked if it's affected by any other system shortcuts but I wasn't lucky enough and none of them worked for me. Some shortcuts like: ctrl + d, ctrl + shift + k, etc.

Answer 1

I found a solution for this problem.

1. go to : File>Preferences>Keyboard Shortcut

2. Then from upright of the page select the icon that says open keyboard shortcuts. Like below

3. In the keybindings.json tab you may see something like this:

Replace everything with the settings from the following links:

if you are using windows copy settings from this link: windows.keybindings.json

for mac: macos.keybindings.json

for linux: linux.keybindings.json

and if you want to see all available options see this link: vs-code-default-keybindings

4. after saving the file, your vscode shortcuts will work properly again.

Answer 2

There could be many reasons. First check that if there is any other application overrides the shortcuts or not.
