Vscode: Ctrl+Shift+E does not work

[tSte]

Issue Type: Bug

Currently, workbench.view.explorer action is bound to ctrl+shift+e shortcut. After last update, this shortcut does not work anymore. I can assign ctrl+e, shift+e, but when I hit ctrl+shift+e, it will assign ctrl+shift+undefined. I also tried to manually override json file, but VSCode does not seem to understand this shortcut.

VS Code version: Code 1.26.0 (4e9361845dc28659923a300945f84731393e210d, 2018-08-13T16:25:59.521Z)

@tSte Can you please check by disabling all extensions?

Also open keybindings editor and see all Similar keybindings by right clicking on the entry and select Find Similar Keybindings

It also happens to me. The shortcut works fine only if the code editor is not focused, showing/hiding the explorer properly.

(Edit: also on linux here)

It seems to be overridden by some lower-level textbox keybinding. Expanding on what @miguelperes noticed: the keybinding seems to be hijacked whenever a text-area has focus, including search boxes and the VCS commit textarea.

(I'm also on linux btw)

PS.: disabling extensions has no effect.

Works for me on Windows and Mac. Electron issue?

This doesn't look like a duplicate of #48480 since this works perfectly fine on 1.25.x yet is broken on 1.26.x.

[costela]

@GeorgeSapkin 1.26 updated electron, which in turn updated gtk2 to gtk3. That should explain why it's a duplicate.

[GeorgeSapkin]

@costela sure, but the other issue is closed yet the problem is still here.

GtkIMContextSimple also supports entry of Emoji by their name. This works by first typing Ctrl-Shift-e, followed by an Emoji name.

Ctrl-shift-E in 1.26 on Linux DOES hijack the next few key presses (try ctrl+shift+e followed by ctrl+z, ctrl+x, ctrl+c and so on) and ctrl+shift+e into :-) does produce an unknown character (box).
