F11 (step in) on mac conflicts with show desktop #5102
Comments
What others are doing:
The F11 show desktop behavior can easily be disabled on the mac. A user can also easily change the step in shorcut that we have. @weinand @jacdavis I am open for suggestions here. Should we use a different default keyboard shorcut, if yes then which one? |
Yes, after I looked into this further, I discovered how to disable the desktop grabbing these shortcuts. This is a tough problem since using different shortcuts may also annoy users, I'm afraid I don't have any other suggestion though. Perhaps adding the command or function key on the mac? |
We already have ctrl + F11 to step out. Function + F11 also has native mac behavior (volume up), cmd + f11 could be an option, however changing the current shortcut could break some users which have disabled the default mac behavior I would leave it as it is since there are two workarounds (disable natvie mac behvaior, configure step in shortcut in vscode). |
Closing this due to the reasons above. |
I've enabled the option to use Fn keys as standard function keys: This requires to press the 'fn' key to get the Mac behaviour (e.g. 'Show Desktop') but in this mode I do not have to reconfigure function keys for individual applications. I think there is no need for VS Code to do anything special here. |
In case anyone reads this thread as I did and still doesn't know how to resolve the conflict, here's how to disable Mac's F11 behavior:
|
@lukecwilliams so my comment from above (with the screenshot) didn't work for you? |
@weinand I needed more granular control to solve the issue - whether F keys are on by default or not, I still was getting OSX overriding VS Code's F11 (in one case holding Fn+F11, in the other case hitting F11). |
@lukecwilliams thank you!! 2 years of mac and you teach me something new... fantastic. |
