In my VS code terminal, pressing tab key for auto-completion would exit the terminal and select other components of VS code. How can I stop it? I was testing different shortcuts. I must have accidentally done something wrong.

First of all see which keyboard layout you are using on your System. Change the Keyboard layout to US-Keyboard if US keyboard is not selected.
If it is US keyboard then,
The shortcut key might have changed.
You can edit your preferences on VS code.
Goto File > Preferences > Keyboard Shortcuts
Search for Toggle Line Comments.
Click on edit icon and press your desired shortcut key
It could also be caused due to the same key bindings for shortcuts.The Keyboard Shortcuts editor has a context menu command Show Same Keybindings, which will filter the keybindings based on a keyboard shortcut to display conflicts. To view same key bindings follow the above steps till Step 3.
Now right click on the Toggle Line commands and click Show same key bindings.
It depends on what language you are programming.
But if you want to type # character you can hold down shift key and press number 3 on your keyboard.
I encounter this problem before. You should press shift key to switch back to type English and try again.
I would like to be able to switch between terminal panes in VSCode using a keyboard shortcut. I am on a Mac.
I have opened keyboard shortcuts (Commandkey+K, Commandkey+S) and found the workbench.action.terminal.focusNextPane setting:
where it states quite clearly what the keyboard shortcut should be (option+command+downarrow or option+command+leftarrow) but neither of those work. They DO work when focus is in the editor and I want to switch between panes there, but not working when the focus in the terminal.
Not sure what I'm doing wrong but I hope I'm missing something obvious. Can anyone explain?
The commands you are looking at (Terminal: Focus Next Pane and Terminal: Focus Previous Pane) are to switch between split terminal panes.
The commands to switch between terminals are:
Terminal: Focus Next Terminal
workbench.action.terminal.focusNext
Terminal: Focus Previous Terminal
workbench.action.terminal.focusPrevious
both of which are unbound by default.
I'm trying to figure out which editor command is used when I press keys in different contexts. For example, I want to know which editor command is run when I press DownArrow while the quick fix widget is open, as shown:
