ctrl-Z deletes instead of restores!

[krahnikblis]

Issue Type: Bug

somehow, randomly, ctrl-Z in VS Code with a jupyter notebook file deletes a cell!?!?! why??? and then ctrl-z to try to un-delete, just deletes yet another cell??? is this funny to someone? like "haha they can put a man on the moon but they can't un-delete python cells!"

expected result: the ONLY thing that deletes a cell is clicking the "trash" icon that deletes a cell. ONLY, because "delete" is not even in the right-click menu (so why should it be an undocumented keyboard shortcut?).

i tried all the wizardry in those threads, like deselect a cell and click esc or just z, wiggle my big toe and run "_ih[negative nonsense colon]" - all those things do is delete more cells too. this is as enhanced as my calm can be after losing hours of work.

Thanks for your feedback! Notebook editor is currently fully integrated with the rest of the VS Code workbench, including ctrl+z, ctrl+shift+z, ctrl+f, etc.

To move off this feature, you can add following snippet in your keybindings.json to ensure that ctrl+z doens't undo in the notebook at all

{
        "key": "ctrl+z",
        "command": "-undo",
        "when": "notebookEditorFocused"
    }

I'll continue to keep an eye on similar issues to see if we need to introduce a setting or update the keybindings in Jupyter to support disabling this.

This has affected me as well. I think ctrl-z should not be deleting cells. It is unexpected behavior. I noticed cells going missing a number of times while working in my notebooks. I am pressing ctrl-z to undo something I have typed and somehow inadvertently losing cells with content.
