I noticed that the VS Code command palette is not opening, using debugger and pressing cmd + shift + p, I get the following output: the last key press is ignored and does not open the panel.

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: YES

Thanks for filing the issue.

There must be another program that's capturing the "cmd+shift+p" keybinding.

Could you please press the keyboard shortcuts that you mentioned (working & not working) on this website and send the screenshot? https://w3c.github.io/uievents/tools/key-event-viewer.html

(as a workaround, you can use F1 to invoke the palette for now)

Thank you @ulugbekna ! Here is the cmd + p key press that works:

Here is the cmd + shit + p key press that does not work: it registered shift and meta, but then pressing "p" does not do anything.

I tried some other combinations and some random ones registered 3 key presses.

Looks like cmd+shift+p is captured by something that is not clear... Given this, is there a way I can find out what program is capturing the keybinding?

Update: Thanks to the suggestion, I was able to find which app is capturing the shortcut globally and disabled that. Now it works as expected!

For context, the app that captured it is Tick Tick, short cut is to start tomato clock. The app to find this is called "ShortcutDetective".
