run code hotkey (ctrl + alt + n) doesn't work

See original GitHub issue

Hi,

I am running VSCode 1.21.1 on Windows 10. Pretty vanilla installation without much customizations. When pressing ctrl+alt+N, nothing happened in VSCode, not even an error message. Right mouse click to run code and the play button on top right corner to run code work fine.

I tried 4 main hotkeys of Run Code (Ctrl + Alt + J, N, K, M). Only the Ctrl+Alt+M responds but it’s due to that hotkey is assigned to send Mel code to Maya.

Anyone experiencing this?

This was working properly for me until recent VSCode update. Now character “ṇ” gets printed even if ctrl+alt+N is mapped to Run Code in key mappings.

This is definitely a issue that needs fixing.

Not working in version 1.31.1. Was working before that.

As mentioned above a different key binding works but default behavior should not change abruptly.

Steps to fix:

Search for ‘Advanced keyboard settings’ in Windows 10 settings. Ensure the drop-down menu option under ‘Override for default input method’ is set to ‘Use language list (Recommended)’. Go to ‘Language settings’, Make sure under ‘Preferred languages’, first option is set to ‘English (United States)’. Click on it. Click on ‘Options’. Under ‘Keyboards’, remove whatever keyboard is there, and add ‘US’ keyboard instead. It should be fixed now.

I believe the offending keyboard is ‘English (India)’, because the ‘ṇ’ character (and you can produce other such ‘weird’ characters with Ctrl+Alt+<letter>) is a Devanagari transliteration character used to write phonetically correct Devanagari words in Romanized form.
