How to type Backslash in VScode on Linux


I'm using Visual Studio Code on an Ubuntu 18.04 laptop. I'm loving the editor, but I can't seem to be able to type the backslash (\). When I click the backslash I only see the status bar saying:

(\) was pressed. Waiting for second key of chord...

I googled the error above and found this SO thread which talks about the same error when hitting Ctrl+E.The highest upvoted answer says that I need to "remove all the shortcuts that use the Ctrl+E chord". But I can't find any with just a backslash.

What am I missing here? How can I just type a backslash?


Solution

  • Check your keyboard shortcuts and change according to your requirements
