Extension disables "⌘ + K" to clear the terminal on terminal focus

[fredThem]

Issue Type: Bug

Focus on the terminal use "⌘ + K" should be equivalent to typing "clear".

Hey @fredThem thank you for reporting this bug.

I just tried investigating it and have a suspicion that the keyboard shortcut you use to clear the Terminal might be custom. It looks like VS Code doesn't assign any keyboard shortcut for clearing the Terminal by default.

Here's a screenshot of my keyboard shortcuts. (Note: I'm using Windows)

May I ask you to check yours? Could it be that the "⌘ + K" is something you've set yourself?

Hi @dzhavat , it's the default setting on VSC for Mac. I had to do an extension bisect that pointed out to your extension.

@fredThem Thanks for getting back with more info. I can see that VS Code has different set of keyboard shortcuts on Mac. Sorry for conflicting with them with my extension.

As a quick fix, assuming you still want to use the extension, you can remove the binding by searching for the "flexbox.cheatsheet" command, then right clicking on the row and selecting "Remove Binding". You'll still be able to open the extension by using the command palette or clicking on any display: flex CSS declaration.

Another option is to assign a different key binding of your choice to the extension but this might interfere with another keybinding for something else.

In the mean time I will try to find a way to keep the key binding for the extension but activate it only if the Terminal is not in focus.
