people from StackOverflow. I have a very frustrating experience with VS Code. At the moment of starting a new file, a mode starts on the editor that makes me being unable to type anything. Here is a youtube link from me, trying to type something. Unable to type characters in VScode
Please, tell me, what should I do?
Go to settings (ctrl+,) -> Search settings -> : Code-runner : Run in terminal - Check this and you will be able to run the code directly in the terminal which takes input. :) Show activity on this post. Make sure you have code runner installed on your VS code. By default it remains unchecked.
Run as Administrator Follow these steps to solve this problem: First of all, close VS Code. Now, right click on it and choose 'Run as administrator'. Then, open up the terminal and try typing/pasting.
press control+C, then press "i" to get in the "insert" status, you could edit your file now.
It looks like you have the Vim extension, or another extension, installed which is causing this. I see SURROUND INPUT MODE
in the status bar which is probably the cause. Look at your extensions and see whether you need to disable or uninstall one, or start Code with --disable-extensions
flag to disable them all.
I have been having the same problem caused by a plugin called vim (vim emulation for Visual studio code)...If it can help..
