'View: Toggle References' keyboard shortcut toggles 'Terminal' view rather than 'References' view

[fsw0422]

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

• VS Code Version: 1.97.2
• OS Version: Windows 11

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Go to 'Keyboard Shorcuts'
2. Find 'View: Toggle References' and designate a key binding
3. Invoke the binded key
4. 'Terminal' view is toggled rather than 'References' view

This works as expected for me. What keybinding are you setting it to? Also this command is contingent on the view being available... meaning you need to have requested references at least once in your session, otherwise you get this:

I've put it to ctrl + alt + u. Still the same

Even though I've already made my Reference View referenced for first time,

VSCode redirects me to Terminal (in my case it's Ctrl + Z)

It looks like the issue is caused by one of your installed extensions. All extensions execute together on a single nodejs process, so in order to narrow down the possible problematic extension, please try the following:

• run F1 > Help: Start Extension Bisect
• (this will restart VS Code with half of your extensions disabled)
• try to do the steps which reproduce the problem
• if the problem reproduces, click "This is bad" (this narrows down the problematic extension to the half which was enabled)
• if the problem does not reproduce, click "Good now" (this narrows down the problematic extension to the half which was disabled)
• these steps will repeat until the problematic extension is found

Tried it multiple times but it seems the same. For me, the options were "I can't reproduce" "I can reproduce"

It was always the same. Should I share my keybindings here?

[TylerLeonhardt]

Yes, share your keybinding. Also if you run this command:

Developer: Toggle Keyboard Shortcuts Troubleshooting

and share the log that opens up, that will help us understand what command is being fired for your keybinding.

logs.log

keybindings.json

It seems to be running the correct command:

Have you moved the References View from its default location maybe?

[fsw0422]

The Reference is on the bottom pane as a single tab
it still keeps going to Terminal when I invoke the key

What I observed is that for key mappings that I made for toggling workbench views, I can see the key mapped when I hover over the tab. For example 'Search' has Search (Ctrl +Alt +F) while 'Reference' doesn't

It's strange how it also invokes the Terminal toggle rather than not doing anything

[fsw0422]

ok I found out that the References workbench gets toggled when I change the keybinding of references-view.tree.toggleVisibility.

However, This only gets invoked once I have the References view focused with results.

For example, if I am focused somewhere else and invoke the references-view.tree.toggleVisibility command, it does nothing

Strange thing also is when the command works, the workbench toggles between User View Container and References

Aside of all that, I don't know why the View: Toggle References still toggles my terminal window (this seems to be a different issue)
