keybindings.json not syncing

🐛 Describe the bug

I uploaded my custom VSCode keyboard shortcuts from one computer and tried to use sync settings to download the same keyboard settings onto a second computer. This is what I got on the second computer after sync settings processed.

keybindings.json:

// Place your key bindings in this file to override the defaults
[
]

🌴 Visual Studio Code Version : 1.43.2 🌴 Code Settings Sync Version : 3.4.3 🌴 Standard or Insiders : Standard 🌴 Portable or Installed : Installed 🌴 OSS or Official Build : Official Build 🌴 Operating System : macOS 10.15 Catalina 🌴 Occurs On: Sync 🌴 Proxy Enabled: No 🌴 Gist Id: ca5bac8864a6c00bc671157a3dcd984a

📰 To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Customize shortcut keys on a Windows computer. For example, remap Control+L to navigate by line number.
2. Upload settings to Gist with sync settings plugin.
3. On a macOS computer, install the sync settings plugin. Download settings.
4. On the mac, open the shortcuts keybindings.json file.

💪 Expected behavior

All shortcut settings transferred from the Windows computer to the macOS computer exactly as written in the keybindings.json shortcuts file on Windows.

I happened to select generic, BM PC compatible keyboard shortcuts for my keybindings.json file, but I would expect the settings to be preserved across computers even if I chosen Windows-specific shortcuts, or macOS-specific shortcuts, or Linux-specific shortcuts, and so on.

This prompted me to test the official settings sync feature in VSCode, which has the setting "settingsSync.keybindingsPerPlatform". When set to false, my keybindings are successfully synced between all my PCs, including my MacBook.

@Hubro Did you have to sync both machines, or just the one where you’re trying to download the keybindings settings after setting settingsSync.keybindingsPerPlatform to false?

I don’t have access to the machine I uploaded te keybinding settings currently, so I can’t trigger that with this new setting settingsSync.keybindingsPerPlatform. And downloading of the settings does not happen after changing the setting and triggering a sync 😦

I think I just ran into this same issue just now, trying to sync keybindings.json from my macbook to my ubuntu VM, in vscode 1.70. I set “settingsSync.keybindingsPerPlatform”: ‘false’" on both machines, and within a minute or so I had my bindings synced on my Ubuntu VM from my macbook.
