I'm using a US keyboard for coding. But my VS Code installation is using a different shortcut layout. How can I switch to US keyboard shortcuts?

Customizing Shortcuts All keyboard shortcuts in VS Code can be customized via the User/keybindings. json file. To configure keyboard shortcuts the way you want, go to the menu under File > Preferences > Keyboard Shortcuts. This will open the Default Keyboard Shortcuts on the left and your User/keybindings.
On the menu bar, choose Tools > Options. Expand Environment, and then choose Keyboard. Optional: Filter the list of commands by entering all or part of the name of the command, without spaces, in the Show commands containing box. In the list, choose the command to which you want to assign a keyboard shortcut.
I had the same issue as I code with DVORAK keyboard layout and setting "keyboard.dispatch": "keyCode" in VS Code solved my issue.

Yes, turned out this page had the answer:

Specifically, running
setxkbmap -layout us
solved my problem.
