changing key bindings in visual code not working

To change key bindings in Visual Studio Code, you can follow these steps:

  1. Open Visual Studio Code: Open the Visual Studio Code editor on your computer.

  2. Access Keyboard Shortcuts: Go to the "File" menu at the top left corner of the editor and select "Preferences" followed by "Keyboard Shortcuts". Alternatively, you can use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+K Ctrl+S to directly access Keyboard Shortcuts.

  3. Search for Keybindings: In the search bar at the top of the Keyboard Shortcuts panel, type the name of the command or keybinding you want to modify. For example, if you want to change the keybinding for "Save", you can type "save" in the search bar.

  4. Select Keybinding: Scroll through the list of available keybindings until you find the one you want to modify. Click on the pencil icon next to the keybinding to enter the keybinding editor.

  5. Modify Keybinding: In the keybinding editor, you can specify the new keybinding you want to use. You can simply press the keys you want to use for the keybinding, or you can use the predefined keys like ctrl, alt, shift, and cmd (for Mac) followed by a specific key. For example, to set a new keybinding for "Save" as Ctrl+S, you would enter ctrl+s in the keybinding editor.

  6. Save Keybinding: After entering the new keybinding, press Enter to save it.

  7. Repeat for other Keybindings: Repeat steps 4 to 6 for any other keybindings you want to modify.

  8. Export Keybindings: If you want to export your modified keybindings to use them on another machine or share them with others, you can click on the three dots icon at the top right corner of the Keyboard Shortcuts panel and select "Export Keybindings". Choose a location to save the file and click "Save".

  9. Import Keybindings: To import keybindings from a previously exported file or from another machine, click on the three dots icon at the top right corner of the Keyboard Shortcuts panel and select "Import Keybindings". Browse and select the keybindings file you want to import.

By following these steps, you should be able to change key bindings in Visual Studio Code to suit your preferences. Let me know if you have any further questions.
