Under Tools > Options > Environment > Keyboard is the setting Edit.ToggleLineComment
I can see that the shortcut for the selected command is set to Ctrl + / (Global)
I'd expect that when I pressed the shortcut, any selected code would be commented out, however, when pressing the shortcut nothing happens. What am I doing wrong?
For the default keyboard mapping scheme, Ctrl + / is assigned to EditorContextMenus.CodeWindow.GenerateDocumentationComments. Make sure to remove this shortcut first.
Change mapping from default to visual studio code.
tools->options->Environment->keyboard
beside reset button, change the mapping
In Visual Studio Code Ctrl+V is not working on editor.
However from the command palette Ctrl+Shift+V is working.
I´ve had this problem when I enabled the "VIM" plugin for VSCode.
After uninstalling it, the problem was fixed.
Open the keyboard shortcuts preferences by pressing CTRL + SHIFT + P and search for open keyboard shortcuts file.
Then, search for the editor.action.clipboardPasteAction property. In your case, it might be CTRL+SHIFT+V. Try changing it to Ctrl + V. Like so:
Solution as of 2022
You could also CTRL + SHIFT + P and search for open keyboard shortcuts (JSON) and paste the following:
// Place your key bindings in this file to override the defaults
[
{
"key": "ctrl+v",
"command": "-workbench.action.terminal.sendSequence",
"when": "terminalFocus && !accessibilityModeEnabled && terminalShellType == 'pwsh'"
},
{
"key": "ctrl+k",
"command": "workbench.action.terminal.clear"
}
]
#WebD'is answer is very helpful and I have upvoted it. But my comment focused on whether there was a conflicting binding for CTRL-V and how to find it. You can literally type "Ctrl+V" (note the "plus+" sign, not a hyphen) and it will find all keybindings that use that binding in whole or part. I suggest that there must be a something else also bound to CTRL-V.
Since this original answer, vscode introduced another way to see what other commands might be bound to given keystrokes. With the Gear/Keyboard Shortcuts file open click on the little keyboardy icon to the right (or Alt+K with this file open) and it will indicate Recording Keys next to it. Now you can literally press Ctrl+V (or whichever keybinding you are interested in) and those corresponding commands, if any, that use that keybinding will be filtered up.
Remember to disable the Recording Keys functionality by clicking the keyboardy icon if you want to go back to regular searching in the Keyboard Shortcuts file.
I have the same problem: can't CTRL+X, CTRL+C, CTRL+V on VSCode editor.
I uninstall the Vim extension and the problem is fixed.
If you install the vim extension for visual studio code and find that ctrl + x, ctrl + v .. or other shortcuts stopped working, this is because they are overwritten by extension.vim_
If you prefer to get those shortcuts back go to keyboard shortcuts (ctrl + shift + p, then search for open keyboard shortcuts file).
Search for extension.vim_ and check too see if any shortcuts are
assigned to your key combination like ctrl + v. Remove it (right click, delete).
Also check for any other conflict by searching the file.
Save the file, it should work now.
For future searchers who do not have Vim (or any other extension) installed which is causing the issue, and who might have verified that their keyboard bindings are correct....
I have the Salesforce Extension Pack installed and had right-clicked on a file and run SFDX: Deploy Source to Org. The deployment had errors, so in the Panel area (which I have at the bottom of my screen) [see image] I had clicked on both the OUTPUT and PROBLEMS tabs, which shifted focus away from my PowerShell TERMINAL tab.
My Ctrl-V issue was when I was trying to correct my Apex code in the EDITOR pane. Ctrl-V was not pasting the code I had just Cut or Copied (but right-clicking and choosing Paste was working).
I ultimately discovered, when I changed my Panel focus back to my PowerShell TERMINAL tab, that ALL of the Ctrl-V pasting I had attempted had shown up after my PowerShell prompt! ["circled" in blue in image]
tl;dr
Make sure your pasted text did not show up in your TERMINAL - even if it is not in focus or even if your cursor is in another Panel tab or in the EDITOR.

If you have the Vim extension installed, you may set the vim.useSystemClipboard in the vim extension setting to true. Then you can paste the content from the clipboard by simply pressing p in the NORMAL mode, or use Ctrl+V in the INSERT mode.
This problem happened to me after I left VSC update itself (currently 1.53.0). It had been converted to Shift-Insert.
Go to File->Preferences->Keyboard shortcuts. Find the editor.action.clipboardPasteAction and double click it, then type Ctrl+V.
+1 for this - in case this helps anyone:
In my case it was only happening in the Thunder Client extension's text fields.
The culprit for me was the Indent on Paste extension (I'm on a Mac, so it was cmd+v instead of ctrl+v - but it fires the same event in VS Code).
I've left issue comments on the Thunder Client and Indent on Paste repos respectively, should anyone wish to add to those.
Look if and remove any VS Code extension :
for example - "Awesome Emacs Keymap" in my case, or any other keymaps installed.
i.e. : FILE/Preferences>/extensions and then look if any special keymap was installed
Modify the setting of vscode:
Settings - input:vim ctrl key - unselect: Enale some vim ctrl key commands that override otherwise common operations, like ctrl + c
go to extensions search Emacs keymap and uninstall it
There should something conflicting to your any previous keyboard shortcut
like in my case for Change All Occurrence: (Ctrl-C + Ctrl-A), vs code, confused with
Ctrl-C for a copy shortcut to this : (Ctrl-C + Ctrl-A), so I change this to (Shift-C + Shift-A), My Issue resolved.
Go to File>Preference>keyboard Shortcuts
Then Check for Copy and paste and enter the Ctrl+C and Ctrl+v shortcuts
Happy Coding ;)
None of the issues above solved this for me. I had a key binding Ctrl+C Ctrl+L. So when I pressed Ctrl+C it was in a state where it was waiting for the next key to be pressed and wouldn't do anything.
This showed up in the toolbar like so (an example):
This didn't come up in the list of keybindings when searching for Ctrl+C. So I found it be looking through the list.
Remove all cmd+v or in windows ctrl+v associated keybindings.
For me the solution was going through my extensions and disabling them one by one to find the culprit.
I had 'Paste and Indent' enabled which was messing up copying and pasting.
Just had to disable it and reload vs code.
Open Settings > keyboard shortcuts
Search for Ctrl + c
Delete the mapping for vim.
i have same problem
step:1
ctrl+shift+p
step:2 find
Open keyboard shortcuts
step:3
find paste
then you can see
editor.action.cliboardPasteAction
right click then changekeybinding if key wrong
or remove key if u found two same line(editor.action.cliboardPasteAction)
in my case is 2nd one(so i removed)
In some cases, if you use remote ssh connects to a remote server and code there, ctrl + V may not be useful because that your remote server has a high balance, you can try to uninstall some useless plugins in that remote server then reload vscode.
I have disabled all extensions, and VS Code hangs for a few seconds whenever I try to paste something. This occurs with Ctrl+V, Shift+Ins and also with right click + Paste.
It hangs, and then nothing happens.
[UPDATE]
I simply reinstalled it, and that solved the issue for me.
In my case just the relaunch of VSCode solved the issue. My key bindings were fine.
"Paste JSON as Code" was my offender, as well as a few other ones. I got a little extension happy there for a bit.
Its easy don't worry, you need to search using ctrl+shift+p and find Prefernces: Open Keyboard Shortcuts(JSON) and add this dict
// Place your key bindings in this file to override the defaults
[
{
"key": "ctrl+c",
"command": "editor.action.clipboardCopyAction",
"when": "textInputFocus"
}
]
I thins it's very helpfull good luck :)
I want to find Auto-Alignment Shortcut Key in Keil uVision. I tried some shortcut keys but I can not find. In Visual Studio I used to: CTRL + K + D , but in keil uVision I don't know how it is work.
For example :
When you type below ( usually copied from another text file which was not tabified correctly):
Use the shortcut key Auto Alignment with this block of code can auto formatting your code as below :
Stop searching. There is no such feature.
Was able to align in uVision5 with Astyle (http://astyle.sourceforge.net/).
File must be saved so that this tool can do its work.
Instructions :
Copy the Astyle.exe file to the Keil installation directory (e.g. D:/Keil_v5/)
Then open Keil and under the Tools menu, open the Customize Tools Menu option.
Create a new Menu Content, the name can be casual .
Command selects the Astyle.exe file in the keil installation directory.
Fill in Arguments !E
You can add a shortcut key for the operation in Edit.

Is there any chance to insert a "user defined command" in texniccenter by shortcut?
I want to insert a "user defined command" but all i found at the shortcut menu was to edit the shortcuts by shortcut. Even in the new Alpha version i didn't found any hint how to do that.
have someone an idea?
Go into the Insert menu, then under "Own Text Modules" select Manage. You can add your own in there and then add the "Own Text Modules" to the shortcuts.
J found a solution for this Problem, especially if you want to add e.g. \bm{} to an existing word or phrase.
First of all, define your "Own Text Module", for which you want to create a shortcut. Then, try to use this command with your keyboard (Alt + I + M + (x)” where (x) is the number in front of your own text module within the menu.
For the german Version, it is (“Alt + E + B + (x)”). Remember this combination. Then assign this shortcut with the program AutoHotkey. The AutoHotkey script looks like this (for the german Version):
%%%
^b::Send !eb 6
Return
%%%
This means: ^b(= <kbd>Ctrl</kbd> + <kbd>B</kbd>) sends the command: ! (Alt)eb 6
I had to add a space between b and 6, however, otherwise it did not work.
It works great for me.
