Can't use § as a keyboard shortcut [duplicate] - visual-studio-code

VSCode says [Equal] key is V? Keyboard layout messed up for shortcuts
(1 answer)
Closed 11 days ago.
I can't use cmd+§ as a keyboard shortcut anymore after the recent update of January 2023 (version 1.75)
When I try to assign that keyboard shortcut, it shows cmd+[IntlBackslash], and when saved, it shows
Did anyone else have such a problem? How t resolve it?
I am using the default English Input source ABC on keyboard settings.

It appears to be a regression, introduced in 1.75. Based on this report (https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/173325), the team is planning to release the fix in Insiders today/tomorrow and 1.75.1 Stable soon.
They provided a potential workaround which consists of editing the scan code based user bindings to use key code, until the fix is available (https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/173325#issue-1570100995).
Hope this helps

How do i setup font ligatures for Visual Studio Code?
(8 answers)
Closed 21 days ago.
I've seen that some people they have Visual Studio Code showing ≠ instead of a classic !=.
Does anyone know how one can enable this option?
I've tried to search for an option to enable this, but I didn't encounter anything in the code editor's settings or the internet.
It's called a ligature. You need to get a font that supports the specific ligatures that you want to have.
To find out how to set it up for Visual Studio Code, see How do i setup font ligatures for Visual Studio Code?.
To find such fonts, try googling programming fonts with ligatures. I won't list any because Stack Overflow is not for technology recommendations, and I don't want to seed bias or have to maintain a list when new ones become very popular.

The VS Code auto closing brackets feature is not working for me.
Whenever I type (, it won't close it and I have to do it manually.
Even when I set my auto closing brackets settings to always.
Is there a way I can fix this issue? And is the same issue happening with any of you?
For me Github Copilot was creating the problem, if anyone else is having trouble.
If you have Github Copilot maybe that is the problem. I uninstall that and problem solved

Enable focus follows mouse between editor and integrated terminal in VSCode

I am used to the focus follows mouse option for years.
In the VSCode editor I want to switch between the integrated terminal and the code writer by simply focusing the cursor on them.
For example in Geany editor:
Does anyone know how to enable focus follows mouse from settings or using any simple hack while trying to move between the code writer and terminal?
The simple answer is it's not possible at the moment. There have been numerous issues raised in the past (#25685, #44214) and they have been closed because "the number of votes ... and duplicate issues" are not high enough. Go out and raise an issue and get others to vote on that issue.
There was a pull request made a couple of years ago that would introduce a focusOnHover setting. This appears to resolve the issue but it has not been accepted and is now a bit stale and needs some work. So you could for VSCode (for yourself), apply the pull request and then build it.
I am keen on this feature as well.
It is now a candidate for the backlog, see https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/93772 (Provide a "focus-follow-mouse" setting)
So upvote it if you want this. It needs 20 votes to move to the backlog.

Eclipse Key Preferences; Debugging; Adding A "Watch Expression" Using The Keyboard [duplicate]

How do I define a custom key binding in eclipse?
I have to admit, for a FREE PRODUCT, Eclipse really delivers. However, sometimes I have to scratch my head about certain missing features...
Eclipse has over ELEVEN HUNDRED different key bindings.
(source: rigel222.com)
I would like to use one of those KeyBindings to add a "Watch" Expression to the expressions window, while debugging.
(source: rigel222.com)
Here is an additional screenshot showing that I already understand the "filter" process. I have set key-bindings for everything I could find pertaining to "Watch", but as you can see it doesn't show up in my right-click menu, and does not function when I use the defined keyboard shortcut.
(source: rigel222.com)
Despite the prevailing opinion that this is "blatant whining", It is also a legitimate problem for me.
Please help.
I just tried it and it works: In the given dialog I entered the word watch as the filter text. The list of key bindings was reduced to three elements. I chose watch and gave a new key binding and it worked.
EDIT:
Please try to unbind the other key bindings that occupy Ctrl+F7 or give Watch another unique key binding.
