Cannot copy from output of interactive window

[pe224]

Applies To

• [x] Notebooks (.ipynb files)
• [X] Interactive Window and\/or Cell Scripts (.py files with #%% markers)

What happened?

Steps:

1. open new empty VSCode window (empty Untitled-1 editor is open)
2. command Jupyter: Create new interactive window
3. run command print("hello") in interactive window
4. select string hello in interactive window output and press Ctrl+C
5. press Ctrl+V in Untitled-1 editor or in the interactive window cell (or anywhere else)

I would expect that string hello is pasted, but instead, whatever was in clipboard before is inserted.

Remarks

• clicking on the three dots next to the output cell and selecting Copy Cell Output works, but this is not a good workaround, since it copies the whole cell, not only the selection
• similar issues been reported before #767, #844, but despite being (presumably) fixed, it doesn't work for me

Update: It actually works fine on my coworkers PC. First thing I tried was to manually disable all extensions besides jupyter. This did not help. However, when firing up a fresh, portable version of VSCode and installing only the jupyter extension, it actually works!

After some digging, I found that I had set the following shortcut

    {
        "key": "ctrl+c",
        "command": "list.clear",
        "when": "listFocus && listHasSelectionOrFocus && !editorTextFocus",
    },

Commenting this out, the copying works fine. So it seems that inside the interactive window, listFocus && listHasSelectionOrFocus is true.
