Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes/No No

  • VS Code Version: Insiders version 1.75
  • OS Version: Windows 11

After some time while editing my code, backspace and enter don't work anymore. Please help me! I have tried deleting keybindings and nothing happens!

I think it has to deal with my extensions.

Also semantic highlights display theme colors weirdly. They look wrong. And lastly, I can't change my theme again.

I think it has to deal with my extensions.

Please use the Start Extension Bisect command to investigate.

Uninstalled VSCode and reinstalled it.

And, now I get this:

When I click on it, this is the output:

Error: there is no registered task type 'cppbuild'. Did you miss installing an extension that provides a corresponding task provider?

How do I fix this?

Edit: This little message which I posted earlier shows up whenever I change my theme:

Did you run the Start Extension Bisect command yet from the the Command Palette (F1)?

As @gjsjohnmurray suggested, extensions have the ability to intercept keypresses and editor input, so it is very likely that one of the extensions is intercepting those keybindings.

If you can reproduce the situation, then please try the following:

  • Run the command Developer: Toggle Keyboard Shortcuts Troubleshooting
  • This will activate logging of dispatched keyboard shortcuts and will open an output panel with the corresponding log file.
  • Press exactly the keybinding you desire.
  • check what VS Code detects and what command is invoked.

If you are having trouble understanding the output, please feel free to paste here and I can try to help.
