VSCode Update 1.13.1 broke some keyboard bindings, How do I put them back? - visual-studio-code

My VSCode just updated to 1.13.1 and now I can no longer use the Shift+Alt keyboard shortcut to initiate multi-line editing. I was using this feature regularly - until it just broke with the 1.13.1 update.
At first I thought it was a keyboard or operating system fault. However, I can still use those shortcut keys in Visual Studio 2017 side by side with VSCode. It works in Visual Studio 2017 and does not work any more in VSCode. I also tried in both Windows 10 and Windows 7.
How do I restore the VSCode keyboard bindings to their Visual Studio equivalents?

Check if you can add to your VSCode plugins the "Visual Studio Keymap" one:
This extension ports popular Visual Studio keyboard shortcuts to Visual Studio Code.
After installing the extension and restarting VS Code your favorite keyboard shortcuts from Visual Studio are now available.
You can see the keyboard shortcuts in rebornix/vscode-vs-keybindings/package.json.

Visual Studio Code doctrings not showing

Using Python in Visual Studio Code, when I am inside parentheses after a function, Visual Studio Code shows only available function signatures. No doctstrings are shown, although this used to be the case. I have searched Internet and stack overflow to no avail (found things, but not helpful). This problem occurs both in Jupyter notebooks and .py scripts. I have Python and Pylance extensions installed.
I've tried both hovering over the code and pressing ctrl + I within parentheses. Ctrl+k also did not work for me.
How can I recover the appearance of doctrings for dynamic/quick info, short of reinstalling VS Code?
Versions:
VS Code 1.74.2
Python extension v2022.20.1
Pylance extension v2023.1.10
I disabled and reenabled the Python extension. Disabling disabled both Python and Pylance extensions, and reenabling reenabled both; so I'm not sure if culprit was Python or Pylance extension. In any case, docstrings are showing now.

Visual studio code ctrl + ~ doesn't open terminal in KDE plasma

Currently on Ubuntu I'm running KDE version 5.18.8, and I've just started coding in Visual Studio Code, but when toggling the console, I just get an old notification on the top right corner of my screen informing me how old it is, not using the shortcut entirely.
*(I toggled the terminal manually in the settings)
Is this a shortcut I have to change in vscode or KDE? Since there isn't anything online I can seem to find for this. It's a bit of an annoyance.

How to use VScode Keybindings in Visual studio 2019

I need to use Visual studio 2019 for my school, I love the VSCode shortcuts (for Example ALT+SHIFT+Down - duplicates a line) but I can't seem to figure out how to use them in Visual studio 2019.
I already tried the answer provided: here , didn't work.
I tried to copy the JSON keybindings file from VSCode but Visual Studio 2019 keybindings doesn't seem to work that way.
Any ideas?
Thanks

#GregorSind, try quitting the VSCode instance and then reopen. This might be that the environment variables are not being visible to the VSCode instance. Also, check what's the integrated shell of VSCode

Can't open Visual Studio Code from Start Menu

I've recently uninstalled VS 2015 and some other packages which I don't recall. Ever since the uninstallation I've not been able to view the the icon of VS Code, VS Code Insider and Windows Defender. All those software were working properly previously.
[
If I click on those application, they won't open.
But if I selected a file or folder and open them by selecting the option "Open with VS Code or VS Code Insiders", there is no any problem. The icon of those software can't be seen on the taskbar too even if they are opened.
What package should I need to install again to make them appear? What other software might be affected?
