alt + f5 doesnt work for Goto Next Change, but Shift+Alt+F5 does, maybe PowerToys conflict

[tyeth]

Type: Bug

Open a changed file from source control, use Shift+ALT+F5 to move to previous change, then try Alt+F5 to move to next change (does nothing).

alt + f5 doesnt work for Goto Next Change, but Shift+Alt+F5 does, maybe PowerToys conflict

That has been happening to me for some time on my home computer (W11). But it works fine on my job computer (W10).

[tyeth]

Windows 11 is a pain, they mess with anything they like, like alt+spacebar a well used shortcut in many 3d apps.

Now my graphics keep jittering due to some new transparency driver rubbish.

Stay on 10 until they clutch it from your cold dead hands

Could you please invoke the "Developer: Toggle Keyboard Shortcuts Troubleshooting" command from the command palette, reproduce the problem and then share the output. That should suffice to see whether the command is being invoked or not. Thanks!

This is what I get:

Doing the same, here's my output. I pressed it a few times.

The commands that should be matched are:

• workbench.action.compareEditor.previousChange
• workbench.action.compareEditor.nextChange

Can you invoke the "Preferences: Open Keyboard Shortcuts" command from the command palette and search for these two commands. Are you seeing any keyboard shortcuts defined for them? This is what I have on my machine (macOS):

[mendhak]

Here's what I've got.

[lszomoru]

Those default keybindings look correct. Comparing your logs with what I have on my machine, I am not seeing any log entry that states that the "F5" key was pressed. Would you be able to look at the troubleshooting logs again, and just press "F5" and see if that appears in the logs. Is there a chance you have some kind of modifier that you have to press on your keyboard so that the function keys are dispatched?

[mendhak]

Gosh now I'm confused 😖

Yes I do have a modifier key, I'm using a Keychron K6 Pro. The Fn1 key is on the bottom row.

BUT. After I looked at the keyboard shortcut list, and then just now tried Alt+F5, it's started working. I'm Alt+F5ing away and it's doing what it should, and the keyboard shortcut logs are distinctly different, you can see it resolve alt+f5.

Did the act of observing the keyboards shortcut list alter the outcome? This could be a Heisenbug.

So now I'm wondering about @lombervid setup.

[lombervid]

These are my shortcuts:

And this is what I got with just F5:

Adding @ulugbekna to assist further. @ulugbekna do you mind taking a look at this one? Thanks!
