Docs > when clause contexts > view identifiers: workbench.view.scm is not correct, workbench.scm is

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes

• VS Code Version: 1.73.1, Electron 19.0.17, Node 16.14.2, Chromium 102.0.5005.167,
• OS Version: Windows_NT x64 10.0.22000

Referring to this: https://code.visualstudio.com/api/references/when-clause-contexts#activefocused-view-or-panel-when-clause-context

When clause contexts’ Source Control’s view identifier is not workbench.view.scm as docs state, but is actually workbench.scm. I discovered this while writing key binding with focusedView == workbench.view.scm, it would never be true, but it works correctly with focusedView == workbench.scm. I got this value from Developer: Inspect context keys command.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Try to create any keybind with focusedView == ‘workbench.view.scm’, shouldn’t work Try adding this for example:

  {
    "key": "escape",
    "command": "workbench.explorer.fileView.focus",
    "when": "focusedView == workbench.view.scm"
  },

1. Change when clause to focusedView == ‘workbench.scm’ should work now

  {
    "key": "escape",
    "command": "workbench.explorer.fileView.focus",
    "when": "focusedView == workbench.scm"
  },

Looks like a “typo” while writing the docs, or internally view identifiers changed and docs were not updated.

I did not check if other IDs are correct, like workbench.view.search etc, they might be wrong in the same way as well.

Thanks @sandy081 for the clarifications. Could you please work with @gregvanl to update the page? Thank you!

I see the confusion here - we have view containers (viewlets/panels) and views. There are following three contexts

• activeViewlet - which expects viewlet/view container id
• activePanel - which expects panel/view container id
• focusedView - which expects view id

Probably we shall update the doc by listing viewlets and views ids.
