Vscode-markdown: command 'markdown.extension.onEnterKey' not found

[luispabon]

Today all of a sudden, when I edit a markdown document and try to press enter, I get the following warning:

command 'markdown.extension.onEnterKey' not found

Reinstalling the extension doesn't help

Open a markdown document, click anywhere on it and press enter.

Nothing:

A few more questions

1. Are you using vscode insider build?
2. Does "waiting for a few seconds after opening a MD file" help?

[luispabon]

👍

1. No, I'm using whatever's the current stable at the snap repository:
   

2. No, it doesn't help at all I'm afraid

[vamanos]

Receiving the same - this has been recurring since I installed the extension on my windows pc (the past 30 days) - this behavior does not happen on my osx computer.

To add an additional item - the behavior does go away for after ~2 minutes. My first thought is there may be another extension conflicting/adding to extension load times - causing this delay - but disabling other extensions does not seem to resolve it.

[yzhang-gh]

Thanks for the report. This issue seems to be the most common problem. I'm considering to add something in this extension to help users troubleshooting.

Same here with vscode insiders

Version 1.21.0-insider

It happens with all markdown extensions keyboard shortcuts

[yzhang-gh]

@albertored Since you are using insider build, the root cause might be different. You can try manually install this version of extension

[krumware]

Installing the beta version does not fix it on my end.

For me this was occurring with backspace, delete, enter, etc

[yzhang-gh]

Because insider build changed again during the past few days. You need one more step now.
You can also wait for several days as I will release a new version after vscode Feb stable build.

[yzhang-gh]

Please try v1.1.0

[krumware]

Took a couple of restarts, but working in latest insider build (1.22.0-insider)

[Floriferous]

There's no way to solve this without using the insider build?

[yzhang-gh]

It (v1.1.0) should work well with vscode v1.21.0 (or later of course).
Please update your vscode because of the API change.

[omniproc]

Workaround: without manually messing with the extension: copy a CRFR char sequence and copy&paste if you need a new line rather then using enter. Yeh, I know. It's messy. But it does the job if you just need to fix something in your markdown RIGHT_NOW...

[luispabon]

I can confirm this is fixed now with the latest plugin and vscode.

[pernix84]

Got the same problem, but can confirm also! Updating VSCode solved the problem (1.21.0)

[penut85420]

@pernix84 thx, I solve the problem

[MitchK]

I had the same issue, with the latest stable version of the plugin installed. Updating VS Code (in my case with Ubuntu, using apt) solved the issue.

My current version of VSCode:

Version 1.21.0

I have VS Code 1.21.1 (NOT insider) and plugin version 1.1.2 and still have the same problem. The issue should be reopened.

[yzhang-gh]

@ulysses4ever You need to provide more information otherwise I have no idea why it happens.
Does this issue still exist if you wait 2 second after opening the MD file?
Is there any error message in the dev tools console? (menu>help>toggle dev tools)

[ulysses4ever]

@neilsustc after Disabling/Enabling it it seems to start working right. Thanks!

[Agarwal-Nikhil]

I have VS Code 1.22.2 (NOT insider) still have the same problem. The issue should be reopened.

[Agarwal-Nikhil]

The issue remains even after 10 minutes of starting VS Code

[Agarwal-Nikhil]

Also I am getting this error as well: command 'markdown.extension.onBackspaceKey' not found

[yzhang-gh]

@Agarwal-Nikhil Any error message in the dev tools console (menu>help>toggle dev tools)?

[Agarwal-Nikhil]

@neilsustc Yes, I get this error: extensionService.ts:848 Activating extension 'yzhang.markdown-all-in-one' failed: Cannot find module 'katex'.

[yzhang-gh]

It seems that some files are missing. Please uninstall the extension, restart vscode and then reinstall it.

[Agarwal-Nikhil]

@neilsustc Did reinstallation. But the problem still persists.

[yzhang-gh]

That's really strange. Could you check whether the directory C:\Users\[username]\.vscode\extensions\yzhang.markdown-all-in-one-1.3.0\node_modules\@iktakahiro\markdown-it-katex\node_modules\katex exists?

[Agarwal-Nikhil]

Yes it exist. It has following contents:

[yzhang-gh]

It looks perfect. I have no idea why vscode still says "cannot find katex"

One last option is to try it with vscode-insider build because its extensions are isolated from the stable build.

[cbejensen]

This happens to me when I open a new tab (a brand new, unsaved file). If I save the file, everything works. However, I'd like this to work on unsaved files, because setting files.defaultLanguage to markdown makes new files markdown automatically, which I can use to quickly jot down notes with style. This works fine without the extension installed, but of course I'd prefer to use the tools this extension provides.

Is there any way to do this?

[yzhang-gh]

@cbejensen You can try the latest build v1.3.0-0519.

[sasukeh]

@neilsustc
For me, latest build works well thanks.

[maoxiaoke]

This is caused by markdown-all-in-one. Uninstall the extension were help.

@neilsustc Update the vscode is heplp, but it 's not the reason to cause this warning info.

not working for me even after restart and reload

@Triamus Your vscode version is old. Please update it first and you will get it work.

And this issue itself is also out-of-date. Please find the latest one 😂.

[mantasindrasius]

Have just recently worked, but started getting out of a sudden.
onBackspaceKey and onEnterKey

MacOS X High Sierra
Version 1.25.1 (1.25.1)
Extension: v1.5.1

Reinstall/Reload IDE did not work.

[yzhang-gh]

For the problem like "command '...' not found", please try to

1. wait for a few seconds after you open a Markdown file for the first time
2. doesn't work? -> update vscode
3. doesn't work? -> reinstall this extension
4. still doesn't work? 😵 -> please open the developer tools to see whether there is any error message, and then paste it below. (Menu Bar -> Help -> Toggle Developer Tools)

And please discuss this in #217. This thread is out-of-date.
