CRTL + / suddenly stops working

[dacs30]

Type: Bug

I haven't found a step by step yet, but it stops working after using it for a couple times.

The only way to get back to work is by closing and opening the app again.

Follow up on that: seems to be caused by Github Copilot. We should probably transfer this bug to them, if possible. Otherwise, I will just create a new bug for it and assign it to their team.

but how much time doing this

[dacs30]

@Hemil31 , after doing Ctrl + / about five times you should get into the repro state. To mitigate the problem I just removed the other Ctrl + / key bindings that were there (including Copilot) and left only the commenting one. Working for now.

@dacs30 hello, How to modify the format of ctrl+/ comments from // to ///<, and block comments from/ / to /** /. Does it currently support commmet format customization

[chrmarti]

@jrieken Maybe a problem with the context key?
