calva.showReplWindow doesn't work with alternate keybindings

Open KingMob opened this issue 8 months ago • 2 comments

Summary

I tried to add a shorter keybinding to calva.showReplWindow, but it fails to work, even when the Keyboard Shortcuts Troubleshooting pane says it's being invoked.

The default binding (Ctrl+Option+O, R) still works just fine (the cursor jumps to the repl window). I tried adding Ctrl+R, Ctrl+Shift+Option+R, and the chord Ctrl+R->Ctrl+R and none worked.

Just to make sure something else wasn't intercepting them, I added those as bindings to bookmark toggling, and they worked just fine, so it can't be those particular keys.

This happens in both VS Code 1.101.0 and Cursor 1.2.0.

Debugging output

Here's the Keyboard Shortcuts Troubleshooting pane output.

Standard chord - Ctrl+Option+O, R

NB: I don't know if the final "Ignoring single modifier ctrl due to it being pressed together with other" is relevant, but it's present when using those same keybindings on bookmark toggling, which works.

Hi! How do you change the keybinding when trying this? Editing the JSON file or using the Keyboard Shortcuts UI?

The UI. I right-clicked on "Calva: Show/Open REPL Window", chose "Add Keybinding...", entered the bindings, and hit enter.

To see what it generated in VS Code, I opened ~/Library/Application Support/Code/User/keybindings.json, and this was the JSON it added:

    {
        "key": "ctrl+alt+cmd+r",
        "command": "calva.showReplWindow",
        "when": "calva:connected && calva:keybindingsEnabled && !calva:outputWindowActive"
    }

Still not working, I'm afraid.
