bépo keyboard layout: cut / copy / paste shortcuts

[Enhakiel]

Hello,

I've got a "special" keyboard, bépo layout, my ctrl+c and ctrl+v are quite unusable with one hand on the keyboard and the other one on mouse, I've got shortcuts (built in the keyboard to emulate cut/copy/paste) , I assume dvorak may be the same, my keyboard's shortcuts work right in the editor but I cannot use them in the vs code explorer to copy/paste files…

Regards.

@Enhakiel You haven't mentioned what OS you're using. Have you seen https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/wiki/Keybinding-Issues

Now I've read it but it doesn't help.
I'm using both Linux and Windows.

This may help you to understand… the red ones are the ones which work in the editor but not in the explorer, the blue ones work all the time but are really not convenient… when I said "the vs code explorer" I meant the "app/folder structure" ctrl+shift+e

can you change the tite again and make it not bépo layout specific. My keyboard layout (de neo) has a special undo key, with the exact same problem. I can't bind it to anything in vscode.

To anyone using bépo layout on Linux, the fix is to add this to your parameters:

"keyboard.dispatch": "keyCode"

Restart VSCode and it will work like a charm!

[Enhakiel]

doesn't work for me :s

@Enhakiel did you try the fix I gave? If yes, did you restart VSCode?

I’m using VSCode 1.24.0 on Ubuntu 18.04.

[Enhakiel]

@nicolas-goudry yes for both, I'm using latest versions of VSCode standard and insider. I'm on Debian 9.4
Have you set TypeMatrix layout with dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration ? I've tried different compose key locations but without success…

[nicolas-goudry]

@Enhakiel Sorry didn’t saw your reply earlier.

Bépo layout is included in Ubuntu so I didn’t setup anything...

I use dvorak and I also have the issue where the shortcuts don't work properly. I will try the keycode trick and see if it fixes my problem next time I'm on linux/ubuntu.

Heya ! I too am using a secondary layout and facing this issue.
It works fine when typing code, but while I hold the ctrl key, layout is switched to my primary layout. And when I release the ctrl key its back to my secondary layout.

My setup is similar to @Enhakiel : TypeMatrix keyboard, using azerty + bépo layouts in Ubuntu (18.04)

Worked for me!

I'm on,
MacOS 12.1.1
VSC 1.35.1

The copy, cut, paste on the typematrix send IBM CUA shortcuts i.e.:

• The Cut is Shift+Del;
• Copy is Ctrl+Ins;
• Paste is Shift+Ins;

So these common shortcut must not be implemented in the vscode explorer.

VsCode 1.59 - Ubuntu 21.04 - TypeMatrix BÉPO keyboard
The fix "keyboard.dispatch": "keycode" has stopped working.
My copy and paste keys are now unusable (cut key still work though)
Any change in keyboard keycode handling in 1.59 ?

I have pushed a couple of fixes in our C++ native-keymap node module last week that were related to keyboard layout for #23690 and for #24166 .

Could you please try out the latest insider version and let me know if you're still experiencing problems. Please try it out both with "keyboard.dispatch": "keyCode" and "keyboard.dispatch": "code" and let me know. Please double check that you use keyCode with this exact casing and that you restart VS Code Insiders after changing the setting.
