shift+enter no longer runs a cell after pressing esc multiple times

[PierXuY]

Thank you very much for such an excellent product! The overall experience with vscode jupyter is great.
But at the same time, there are a few things that I think can improve the experience:

• It is hoped that the same variables can be highlighted across cells.Currently, only the same variable in the same cell can be highlighted.
• When the Ese key is pressed to focus on the cell container, if the Ese key is pressed again or multiple times, the cell cannot be run using the shortcut keys Ctrl + Enter or Shift + Enter. This has some impact on the experience. Is it possible to automatically focus when using Ctrl + Enter or Shift + Enter, so that the current cell can execute normally and avoid inadvertent failure?

Looking forward to a more perfect experience, thank you!

The first point should be covered by microsoft/vscode#184259

For the second, that sounds like a bug, but I'm not able to repro - after pressing escape multiple times, I can still run the cell with shift/ctrl+enter. Does the cell still appear focused? Are you on the latest version of vs code?

never mind, I can hit it now.

Thanks for the reply. I'm using the latest version of vscode.

After pressing escape multiple times, the cell still appears focused, but when I press shift/ctrl+enter, the cell does not execute normally. In addition, when I press shift+enter, the next cell will be focused but the previous cell is not executed.

I wonder if other users have similar situations.
