some documented key bindings do not work at all

[jabielecki]

Problem

Many key bindings documented in the README.md are not actually present on a fresh install on Linux.

I've listed just the ones interesting for me personally below. The ones marked missing are neither actually working nor shown in the VSCode Feature Contributions listing. It is confusing to have them prominently documented - the top ones are the first thing visible just after installing this plugin.

Command	Linux	Comment
cursorLeftSelect	ctrl+shift+b	missing
cursorRightSelect	ctrl+shift+f	missing
cursorUpSelect	ctrl+shift+p	missing
cursorDownSelect	ctrl+shift+n	missing
cursorWordEndRight	alt+f	missing
cursorWordStartLeft	alt+b	missing
cursorWordEndRightSelect	shift+alt+f	missing
cursorWordStartLeftSelect	shift+alt+b	missing
cursorEndSelect	ctrl+shift+e	missing
cursorHomeSelect	ctrl+shift+a	missing
editor.action.joinLines	ctrl+j	present
editor.action.copyLinesDownAction	ctrl+shift+d	present
editor.action.deleteLines	ctrl+shift+k	present
editor.action.jumpToBracket	ctrl+m	present
editor.action.showSnippets	alt+shift+s	present
editor.action.format	ctrl+shift+i	present
editor.action.insertCursorAtEndOfEachLineSelected	alt+shift+l	present

Same for me I use these quite often and they stopped working recently

Trying Ctrl+Shift+d give the following debug

Also looked at https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/wiki/Keybinding-Issues but not sure I found anything related to 'Ignoring single modifier shift due to it being pressed together with other keys.'

All my googling has lead me to possibly that the OS is using these keybindings? https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/136230
