Yeasterday when i was on vscode randomly I started noticing that when I clicked on my comma key a shortcut for the settings was oppening. I recorded the keys to see what keys were getting triggered and it appears that the keyboard assumes that when I click on comma the ctrl key triggers too (ctrl + comma).
I already checked if I was using a different language layout (Im using PT-PT) but that's not the problem.I updated the drivers and the problem presists.
Anyone as any idea?

I've got some AutoHotKey scripts that I use to move windows around my monitors. for example, I have [Shift]+[Win]+[Up] set to move the current window to the monitor above the current one ans size proportionally
My problem is that, since upgrading to windows 10 on Friday, executing one of these functions still performs its hotkey action, but then when I release the Shift key while still holding Window, the start menu opens. When I was still on 7, the start menu would only open if I pressed and released the Window key without pressing any other keys.
I don't have this problem with my hotkeys that use Control+Window instead of Shift. It's only when I press and release the Shift key while holding Window.
How can I fix this?
If your hotkey sends any keys other than LWin/RWin, that should suppress the Start menu. For example, Send {Blind}{vkFF}.
If it fails to suppress the Start menu, that most likely means the Win key is being released (virtually or physically) before you send the key, or released and pressed again after you send the key, and is not being masked correctly. You can troubleshoot this by using KeyHistory, which should show a Win-down immediately followed by a Win-up, and should indicate whether these events were generated by AutoHotkey and with what timing.
The Start menu should appear only if you press and release a Win key while not holding any other modifier keys, and without pressing or releasing any other keys. In other words, what you describe should not be possible unless your hotkey is directly or indirectly releasing Shift and pressing and/or releasing the Win key (and Send is failing to mask it).
Recent versions of AutoHotkey do not mask the Win key when used in hotkeys like +#Up::, because the presence of the Shift key has already masked it.
I have used DevC++ and similar environments also have this application. While the overwrite mode is on the code overwrites instead of code moving to right.
The issue can be solved by using fn + insert(print screen) in Windows 8 or above and insert key in lower versions.
Like #Kokul says, you can press the Insert Key. If your Windows machine does not have a physical Insert key, you can press the virtual one, which you can find by pressing:
Windows Key > Ease of Access Keyboard Settings > Use the On-Screen Keyboard
Then press the Insert key which is located on the virtual keyboard to the right of the Enter key. Pressing the virtual key will behave like pressing the physical Insert Key.
Is there a way in Android Studio to use Ctrl+tab to navigate to recently used editor?
Android Studio has two types of switching methods, as can be seen on the keymap settings:
"Recent Editors" - shows a list of recent editors but you need to leave the ctrl key and click up/down keys then another click to select the relevant editor.
"Switcher" - shows a quick list of recent editors. Setting Ctrl+tab to this will behave like many of the other editors in the market: Notepad++, Visual Studio, Eclipse ADT, etc...
You can use Ctrl+E to list last opened or edited files, use arrow key to move up and down.
Ctrl + tab is already doing that! it shows the switcher having the most recently used editor highlighted, after releasing Ctrl key it will switch to the editor, if you keep holding the Ctrl then there are 2 ways to navigate through the switcher, either by Tab, or by up and down arrows with Enter.
Another way is Navigate-> Back/Forward which will move cursor between edit locations in same file and move along to other files, the default key mapping for those are (Alt +Ctrl + Left)/(Alt +Ctrl +Right), which conflicts with windows mapping, Personally I am using Eclipse key mapping, so they are (Alt + left)/(Alt + right).
Don't forget that you can change any key mapping or add an extra key mapping from File->Settings->Keymap
I just installed my Visual Basic and this is a problem I couldnt find an answer to. Everytime I press ALT it gets me out of code, and because I use SHIFT+ALT to change keyboards a lot while writing code, this is really disturbing to have to click in code again to be able to write.
Any ideas ?
Are you referring to the normal Windows way of accessing the menu via keyboard? This has nothing to do with Visual Studio; it will work similarly in almost any Windows application.
E.g. pressing Alt+F will open the File Menu etc. Just pressing Alt will highlight the menu (you should see the shortcut letters underlined for each item) and pressing a letter key will then open the menu. Instead, press Alt again to return to what you were doing before.
I’m currently writing an MFC dialog app which has a menu. The menu displays correctly and the menu entries work correctly via mouse, accelerators, and hotkeys (e.g., to quit: Ctrl+Q or Alt+F,Q).
Unfortunately, the Enter key doesn’t seem to work. That is, pressing Alt+F will open the File menu and pressing ↑ will highlight the Quit entry, but pressing Enter will not select it.
I know that using menus in dialog apps can be a bit tricky, but I’ve done this successfully before. However, that was a long time ago with a customized VS wizard, so I am trying to remember how to do this from scratch. I tried checking my old code, but could not find anything in reference to VK_RETURN. (No, there’s nothing special in PreTranslateMessage.)
These two questions are related, but they want the dialog to receive the key, I need the menu to get it.
Does anyone know what the problem is and how to fix it?
