Keyboard Shortcut Not Getting Deleted Or Edited

[Saif-Dawood]

Type: Bug

I was trying to edit the When condition for a shortcut keybinding to a certain extension, though I don't think it was an issue from the extension. I took the when condition from a google search, and it was written in double quotes ( " ). I didn't think much of it and just copy/paste-ed it with the quotes and pressed enter. When I did, the When condition got reset. I just thought it was telling me that it is invalid, so I also didn't think much of it and just inserted the same when condition but without the quotes. However, when I did so, the shortcut keybinding did not get changed, and a new shortcut keybinding got created with the When condition I gave it. I tried deleting the old shortcut keybinding as it was interfering with other shortcuts, but it didn't work. In fact, no change got applied to the shortcut keybinding. Not editing, not reseting, not deleting. Nothing. I tried doing it on another extension's shortcut, and it did the same thing. To be honest, I didn't try it on a built-in shortcut because I feared that it would mess with a lot of things, but yeah I still don't think it is an error from the extension itself

Could you enable screencast mode (invoke command "Preferences: Toggle Screencast Mode" from the command palette (press F1)) and provide a screencast of what you're doing?

Very sorry for being late. I was busy with my college work. Anyhow, here is the screen cast. I managed to record a few more bugs that might be related to it (eg. When reseting, a new shortcut gets created with the default shortcut. When deleting, while selecting the "F5" shortcut, it deletes the newly created one "Ctrl+F5", etc) Screencast from 12-16-2023 07:06:44 PM.webm

I would like to kindly request a reopening of this issue as the bug still exists and I just wasn't available for response earlier. Thank you.
