Vscode: Pressing the "Right arrow" -key does not move the cursor in code editor

Created on 28 Aug 2020  ·  7Comments  ·  Source: microsoft/vscode

Issue Type: Bug

I updated to the latest Insider build and the "Right arrow" -key stopped working in the code editor. It seems to happen in every file I try to open and is not file type specific.

  1. Open any file in code editor
  2. Try pressing the "Right arrow" -key

I fixed it by

  • Click on Settings gear
  • Open Keyboard Shortcuts
  • Search for "RightArrow"
  • Right Click on entry that says "Notebook: UnFold Cell" & remove that keybinding
