Vscode: Mac shortcut Cmd + Shift + Slash broken after 1.31.1

[jasperkuperus]

I use the Mac shortcut Cmd + Shift + / quite often, to navigate the menu of an application (as described here: https://www.imore.com/how-use-macs-help-menu). This shortcut seems to be broken in version 1.31.1. Nothing happens, it also doesn't seem to be bound to a new command.

It's also broken in the insiders build, and when starting without extensions.

• VSCode Version: 1.31.1
• OS Version: macOS High Sierra 10.13.6

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Press Cmd + Shift + /
2. Mac OS should open the help window, in stead, nothing happens

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes

Cmd + Shift + / works only when there are no open editors

It looks like Cmd + Shift + / is broken for many Electron based applications.

I am unable to use Cmd + Shift + / on MacOS 10.14.5 for

• Spotify Desktop App Version 1.1.9.383.g9f48828e
• Slack Desktop App Version 3.4.2
• VSCode Version 1.35.1

I opened electron/electron#19048 to see if the electron team can help

@bpasero @deepak1556 Assigning to you, as this is 100% an Electron issue. The way this should work via cmd+shift+/ has nothing to do with out keybindings story.
