Visual Studio Code does not let me type the letters a, s, or d, only in files

Thank you for reaching out.

I understand you're experiencing an issue where Visual Studio Code does not allow you to type the letters a, s, or d in code files, although these keys work fine in the terminal. This is certainly unusual, and I’d be happy to help you troubleshoot it.

Here are a few steps you can try to resolve the issue:

1. Check Keyboard Shortcuts and Extensions:
   • Sometimes extensions or custom keybindings can interfere with typing. Try disabling all extensions temporarily ( Ctrl+shift+P → “Disable All Installed Extensions”) and see if the issue persists.
     • You can also reset keybindings via - (File > preferences > Keyboard_Shortcuts) and clicking the gear icon to reset to default.
     1. Check for Conflicting Software:
        • Some third-party applications (like keyboard remappers or screen recording tools) may interfere with input. Try closing background apps to rule this out.
        1. Reinstall VS Code:
           • If the issue continues, consider reinstalling Visual Studio Code to ensure a clean setup.
