Menu
In Visual Studio Code, I prefer having the "Activity Bar" hidden and use the key combinations Ctrl+Shift and E, F, G or X to reach the individual panes.
When I am in the Search pane (revealed with Ctrl+Shift+F) with focus on the editor, I hit Ctrl+Shift+E with the intention of reaching the Explorer pane; instead of exposing the Explorer pane, code inserts the character e with a black underline.
Now, I suppose this is some feature to insert special characters into editors but, Ctrl+Shift+E as a shortcut for this seems little too conspicuous don't you think? Especially when it is already being used for something else?
I'm not sure when this behavior was changed but I remember that it used to work earlier. Is there a way by which I can disable this special character insertion feature and restore order?

If ctrl+shift+e consistently arrives from the OS as ctrl+shift+e, and sometimes it shows the explorer and sometimes it inserts symbols in the editor, then it is possible that you might have a keybinding customization for ctrl+shift+e. Can you please try to reproduce by disabling all extensions and removing your customizations from keybindings.json?

Closed 1 year ago. The keyboard shortcut for the command pallet ( Ctrl+Shift+P) has stopped working in VS Code. When I go to File -> Preferences -> Keyboad Shortcuts I can confirm that only the default keybindings are present for the Ctrl+Shift+P key combination.

Okay, it took some time to narrow down this issue. It appears, GTK3 reserves the key combination Ctrl+Shift+E to insert Emoji.
Good news is, this feature has been removed in GTK version 3.24. You can update your GTK version to fix this issue.
