[obrejla]

• VSCode Version: 1.10.1
• OS Version: macOS Sierra 10.12.3

Steps to Reproduce:

1. set some grunt task to be runnable by keybinding "ctrl+f6" in keybindings.json
2. press "ctrl+f6"
3. nothing happens...it does not work
4. try to set it to e.g. "cmd+f6"
5. press "cmd+f6"
6. it works!

Thanks a lot!

@obrejla Can you please try the following steps and check if VS Code receives these key-presses?

There are a number of reasons why certain keybindings would not reach VS Code. e.g.: the OS binds OS functionality to them, other installed sofware "captures and steals" them, etc.

To find out if a keybinding arrives in VS Code:

1. Open Preferences > Keyboard Shortcuts
2. Click on Define Keybinding
3. Press your desired key combination
   (e.g. doing it for Ctrl+Shift+1):
   
4. If the key combination does not reflect what you press or shows "unknown", it means VS Code is not receiving these key down events.

Thanks for the response.

The result is: ctrl+unknown for ctrl+f6

I have validated that we now (i.e. after PR #22894 aka #17521 -- in today's Insiders build) appear to behave correctly for F keys. I have attached a standard QWERTY keyboard to a mac mini and configured OSX to use the US layout. Pressing F keys appear to be interpreted correctly:
