Jump from a sidenav where the 1st focused element is an text input field to "Explorer" not working with default shortcut (ctrl+shift+e)

[ChillyVanilly77]

Type: Bug

When pressing the key-combo ctrl+shift+x and focusing the text input field of the "Extensions" sidenav,
the default key-combo to jump back to the "Explorer" sidenav ctrl+shift+e does not work, instead it behaves weirdly by inputting some chars and then deleting it again (when pressed repeatedly).
This seems to also apply to the sidenavs where the 1st focused element is a text input field, such as "Search"
(default key-combo ctrl+shift+f).

Jumping from "Extensions" to the "Source Control" sidenav or any other that doesn't focus a text input element at first
however with the default key-combo works perfectly well.

I wasn't able to repro this on macOS... cmd+shift+x, cmd+shift+e, cmd+shift+x, cmd+shift+e worked fine.

Thanks for reporting this issue! Unfortunately, it's hard for us to understand what issue you're seeing. Please help us out by providing a screen recording showing exactly what isn't working as expected. While we can work with most standard formats, .gif files are preferred as they are displayed inline on GitHub. You may find https://gifcap.dev helpful as a browser-based gif recording tool.

If the issue depends on keyboard input, you can help us by enabling screencast mode for the recording (Developer: Toggle Screencast Mode in the command palette).

Happy coding!

I’m suspicious of an extension causing this behavior. Can you open the Command Palette (⌘/Ctrl+Shift+P) and run the extension bisect command: Help: Start Extension Bisect and follow the prompts? (More information about Extension Bisect here)

Uuhm...I have explicitly written OS: Ubuntu 22.04 LTS (jammy)
I never had nor will I ever have a Mac most probably, hence the reproduction there will not necessarily hold true as I have not encountered an issue there...

But sure, I can provide a GIF for that on Ubuntu 22.04 LTS.

[ChillyVanilly77]

Here as promised the GIF that demonstrates the repeatedly attempted switch from the "Extensions" sidenav menu while
text input was focused to the "Explorer" sidenav menu.
It reports in the screencast mode "ctrl+shift+unknown" instead of the expected "ctrl+shift+e".
