While customizing VSCode's keyboard shortcuts, somehow I removed the shortcut for cut
. Now I don't know what shortcut it is.
I assigned ctrl+x
to editor.action.clipboardCutAction
, cut
, and default:cut
, but still I can't cut a text with ctrl+x
. When I select a text and press ctrl+x
, it removes the text, but the text is not in the clipboard
Also, in the edit
menu, there's no shortcut in front of the cut
. (copy
and paste
have their default shortcuts.)
What command is the cut
in VSCode?
Thanks to the comment of @topsail, I've found the issue. I opened the command palette and entered Developer: Toggle Keyboard Shortcuts Troubleshooting
. It showed me that ctrl+x
is invoking default:cut
command. The File -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts
listed its source
as user
. I removed that, and a cut
command (all lowercase) again with source=user
.
Now ctrl+x
invokes Cut
(with capital C
) which cuts the text correctly.
I'm not sure where those default:cut
and cut
commands came from. Maybe when I upgraded from a very old VSCode version? Because I wasn't using VSCode in a while, and just upgraded it.
