It might be helpful to get more information on what is happening when you press the keys. Refer to this stack overflow post on how to find out what VSCode is actually doing in response to keystrokes and find out what command VSCode is using to handle the keystrokes:

There is some related discussion and a possible solution here:
#2924 (comment)

working with the keybindings.json is a little new to me but seems like everything you need to know is here:
https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/getstarted/keybindings

My understanding is that you can take the keybindings posted by karlhorky in the referenced post and then just add this to the bottom of your keybindings.json file (accessible from the command palette under preferences: open keyboard shortcuts (json)

Okay, going to check it as soon as possible. Going to play with it anyway

@mrcat323 Are you still experiencing this? If so, can you provide settings, keybindings, etc.?
