Keyboards shortcuts stops working from time to time

[joandrsn]

Sometimes when I have used vscode for a while, my keyboard shortcuts semi-stops working. An example: I can Ctrl+F to find, focus is moved but then Enter (to find next result) does not work in the search context.

The issue happens every so often. Sometimes 3-4 times a week, other weeks only once.

I am able to fix the issue by running the command Developer: Toggle Keyboard Shortcuts Troubleshooting. I believe this restarts some process.

In the output window, I find the following stacktrace which may help you:

I suspect that I have some extensions clashing on Keyboard shortcuts or a timing issue - but I am very uncertain of this. I am not able to run vscode without extensions, since I have not found a way to reproduce the issue just yet.

Thanks for creating this issue! We figured it's missing some basic information, such as a version number, or in some other way doesn't follow our issue reporting guidelines. Please take the time to review these and update the issue.

Happy Coding!

Same problem here, it's driving me crazy. After Reload Window it works again for a while.

I notice that you @bvbeek have forked Microsoft/BCTech. Are you by any chance a D365 BC developer? Because I am.

Since we both experience the issue, the issue may be related to the AL Language extension. Unfortunatly the VSCode extension is not open source and thus harder to debug.

[bvbeek]

Hi @joandrsn , yes I'm also a BC developer. However my colleagues do not experience this problem. These are my installed VS Code extensions. Which one have you installed?

[joandrsn]

I have 24 extensions installed. Of these, the overlap with your extensions are only the following:

• AL Language extension for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central
• AZ AL Dev Tools/AL Code Outline - Source code
• waldo's CRS AL Language Extension - Source code

[bvbeek]

I've disabled these two extensions, and I still got this issue: AZ AL Dev Tools/AL Code Outline - Source code waldo's CRS AL Language Extension - Source code

So the problem is in: AL Language extension for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central

However, I'm not able to disable this because we need this to develop :)

[ulugbekna]

@bvbeek Does disabling AL Language extension fixes the problem for you?

[ulugbekna]

The problem is likely caused by use of webviews. If you could come up with a repro for this, I could investigate more into the issue
