Ctrl+. (Dot) makes "e" appear instead of showing suggestions in VSCode on Gnome - visual-studio-code

I'm using VSCode on Gnome (on XOrg on Arch). Since lately, the shortcut Ctrl+. stopped working, despite still being listed in the keyboard shortcuts and despite all extensions being disabled. Instead, an underlined e appears:
The character goes away when pressing enter twice or ESC once. When writing something and then pressing enter, the e goes away but the written text stays. When changing the window while the e is underlined, it becomes a regular e.
This seems to behave somewhat similarly to the compose key, which displays an underlined centered dot after being pressed.
I can't find any keyboard shortcuts for Ctrl+. in the Gnome settings.
What is this feature? What is it good for? And how can I restore the original behavior?

This is not related to VSCode, as the same thing happens in any text input field across all apps (both on Wayland and Xorg, Fedora).
The issue appeared on my pc when I upgraded to Gnome 42, and I still can't find a way to fix it (keyboard shortcuts don't have any entry for Ctrl+.).
Edit: Found this post about this issue. Their fix is to run ibus-setup and to disable the ibus shortcut.

This issue is not related to VSCode. I've experienced it too on my Linux Ubuntu 22.
Try this to turn off Emoji annotation keyboard shortcut:
$ gsettings set org.freedesktop.ibus.panel.emoji hotkey "[]"
Or run
$ ibus-setup
Under emoji tab, clear 'Emoji annotation'

Shortcuts within Find/Replace dialog do not work in Visual Studio Code?

As shown in this screenshot there are 5 occurrences of the "Find" field. But hitting CMD-ENTER -as shown in the shortcut balloon help - does nothing.
Why is it not working/ what can be done to get it to to work? I detest using the mouse for extremely common operations especially Find/Replace.
It is a little odd that the binding is Cmd+Enter on the Mac, whereas it is Ctrl+Alt+Enter on Windows? Things to try:
The equivalent of Ctrl+Alt+Enter on the Mac (and you indicated that Cmd+Option+Enter does work).
Check in the Gear Icon/KeyboardShortcuts editor what the command editor.actions.replaceAll is bound to.
Check in the Keyboard Shortcuts (click on the little keyboard icon to the right and type Cmd+Enter) to see if it is bound to something besides editor.actions.replaceAll.
You can run the Developer: Toggle Keyboard Shortcuts Troubleshooting command from the Command Palette, type Cmd+Enter and see what command vscode finds for that keybinding.
You indicated that Cmd+Option+Enter does work as you expect.

VSCode, Ctrl+Tab does not quick switch editor windows

Strange problem appears on one of my machines.
Hit Ctrl+Tab, just hit and immediate release of Ctrl - should switch to the last used editor window. Should.
But instead I have a drop down with list of editors and have to press Enter to do the actual switch.
Holding Ctrl and hitting Tab several times - acts normal.
The problem I see is on VSCode v1.66.2. Another two machines have the very same version and do not experience that issue. So I am assuming the problem is somewhere in settings but I am at loss which one.
I guess, I had to write the question down to find the answer...
The reason for the problem was in extension. In this case it was "Keyboard Macro Beta". It overrides the default behavior of Ctrl+Tab, for some reason.
Found it by just typing "Ctrl+Tab" in the filter field of Keyboard Shortcuts.
Disable/uninstall the extension and default behavior for the hotkey was restored.

How to search ('Ctrl+F') in 'output' panel in VS Code?

I used to be able to be able to Ctrl+F to search whatever was logged in VS Code. Now, for some unknown reason, the search bar doesn't show up when I type in Ctrl+F.
I am on version 1.57, which is the latest at this time.
This question if for the Debug Console which isn't the tab I am looking at.
Click anywhere inside the output panel, and then press Ctrl + F
I realized that the Vim extension is what is causing this. Ctrl+F is for scrolling and although previously Vim keyboard shortcuts didn't work in the output panel, they seem to have been extended to it recently see this issue I raised.

Ctrl Space Not Working in Eclipse Helios on Win 7

I have shifted by Dev Env recently to Eclipse Helios on Windows 7. After that the Ctrl + Space Content Assist feature is not working. I found out that that key option is utilized by Language Settings. I have tried disabling it. But it still doesn't work in Eclipse.
Any help is much appreciated.
Configure Eclipse’s content assist, go “Preferences>Java>Editor>Content Assist>Advanced“. Make sure “Other Java Proposals” is ticked.
http://www.mkyong.com/java/content-assist-ctrl-space-is-not-working-eclipse/
In my case nothing happens after pressing Ctrl+Space. Right now I have set a different short cut for the same and solved
Check your "Keys" preferences: maybe the Content Assist" shortcut has been overridden by another command which would also use Ctrl+Space.
That could happen with the installation of a new plugin, coming with its own set of commands and shortcuts: the bug 303894 for the XText plugin is a good example.
You probably have another application (in systray) that uses Ctrl+Space for something else. In my case I have a small utility which when I press Ctrl+Space makes the active window on top.
The solution for you would be to (1) exit that application which overrides the keys or (2) in Eclipse change Ctrl+Space to some other set of keys.
This was solution for me to get rid of windows key shortcuts:
Go to Start > Type in regedit and start it
Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Control Panel/Input Method/Hot Keys
Select the key named: 00000070 for the Chinese (Traditional) IME -
Ime/NonIme Toggle hotkey 00000010 for the Chinese (Simplified) IME -
Ime/NonIme Toggle hotkey
In the right sub-window, there are three subkeys. Key Modifiers
designate Alt/Ctrl/Shift/etc and is set to Ctrl (02c00000). Virtual
Key designates the finishing key and is set to Space (20000000).
Change the first byte in Key Modifiers from 02 to 00
Change the first byte in Virtual Key from 20 to FF
Log off and log back on. I don't think it's necessary to restart.
Do not change the Hot keys for input languages in Control Panel,
unless you want to do this all over again.

I have seen a similar problem in Eclipse Juno (version 4.2.0).
Since you have already tried Eclipse/Java code completion not working, I would check to see if there are any key conflicts. Go to Window -> Preference -> General -> Keys. In the filter box, replace the light gray "type filter text" with the word "Content"; the first item should be "Content Assist." Select it. It should have nothing in the Conflicts box in the lower right-hand portion of the screen.
If you have no conflicts, then it is likely that there is another program, outside of Eclipse, that is binding to Ctrl + Space.
I worked around this with an ugly solution. I copied the Content Assist. In the Binding field, I entered held down the Ctrl + Alt keys and pressed space. This restored the Content Assist function, but it required a brain remap when I am using one machine.
!Screenshot of Eclipse Juno, I had the same problem, then I changed it to different key combination, then it works.1
This is what solved my problem.
Goto Control Panel -> Clock, Language and Region -> Change keyboards or other input methods -> Change keyboards... -> Advanced Key Settings. For some reason I had ctrl + space set as Key sequence for language hot keys. I changed them to something else and rebooted.
Make sure to reboot because it did not work for me without the reboot.
On my Ubuntu, Xfce, ctrl space was allocated to switch language on the iBus preferences (if you have this running, you will see the 'i' icon on the task bar, right click and choose preferences). To change this, bring up the IBus Preferences, on the General tab, see the "Enable or disable:" option, click the ellipses and provide a different keyboard assignment.
This sorted me out without need to restart Eclipse.
I use eclipse indigo and had this problem. Creating a new workspace did not worked.
Go to Windows->preference->General->Keys->"Restore Default" - This fixed my issue
Note that I just had English(US) on windows 7 [Control Panel-> Clock,Language and Region ->Change keyboard or other input methods-> Keyboards and Languages->change Keyboards...->General ==>Default language is English and Installed Services I just had English(US) alone
After doing this some you might need to restart the system if it does not fix.
This is how I fixed my problem on Ubuntu 12.04 regardless of the eclipse version. My problem was that the ibus was overriding the shortcut so I deleted this shortcut configuration.
Type ibus in the dash:
Then select Keyboard Input Methods. From there click on the first three dots next to the Enable or disable textfield. This windows should appear:
If there is something bound to Ctrl + Space simply delete it.
#Polac - Thx. That's what fixed it for me. I'd hit ctrl+space and I'd get a popup for chinese character selection. I have Windows 7 so for me it was:
Control Panel -> Region and Language -> Keyboards and Languages tab -> Change keyboards... button -> Advanced Key Settings tab
Be warned, its stubborn. I tried to just clear them, but as soon as I applied the settings they reset back to using the original key bindings. If I change the key binding to something obscure they still reset sometimes. It's annoying. Maybe its just my OS installation that's goofed, but it could be a Microsoft bug.
Didn't need Chinese on my system, so I removed it as an installed language in the first tab and that finally got rid of the hardcoded Chinese key bindings.
In Eclipse you can use the Alt-/ character sequense instead of Control-Space. This is an old problem which Eclipse and Chinese keyboards, which they addressed by adding this short cut.
I found the answer.
Windows / UV Elements - was OFF! I don't know how but they were off. And when you click Ctrl+Space he working, but your all elements are off and you think that it is not working. You must on all UV elements and after your Ctrl + Space will be work.
