Iʼm running VSCode on Linux. Its window contains menu bar (usual style: File, Edit, ..., Help) which is accessible only with the mouse. I havenʼt managed to find a shortcut to select a menu item or even the whole menu bar. This differs from Windows where this menu is controllable using regular Windows style (Alt+F for File, etc.)
Is there a shortcut to go to the menu bar or its item? What is its name, if present?
Linux = Ubuntu 20.04+KDE, freshly updated.
VSCode = 1.68.1 (latest today) from Ubuntu snap (stable channel).
It works well for me (Ubuntu: 20.04.4 LTS, VSCode: 1.68.0) and it is supposed to work in the same way for Linux or Windows. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Table_of_keyboard_shortcuts.
What happen when you press Alt? Can it select the menu bar?

I run Notepad++ both in Windows, and in Linux under Wine. In Windows, I can hold Alt and click/drag to select characters in a column rather than line-by-line.
In Linux, holding Alt and clicking doesn't select anything. Rather, it makes the cursor a hand tool which drags the window around.
Is there a setting to toggle on the alt-click column highlighting? I've poked around in the settings and keyboard shortcuts, but didn't find anything that looked relevant.
Thank you.
In case anyone else runs into this:
For Cinnamon desktop: go to Preferences > System Settings > Windows. Click on the Behavior tab. Change the "Special key to move and resize windows" from Alt to Disabled (or a different key).
Voila, alt-select works again in Notepad++!
(The Mint Forums answer linked above is for an older version but I have confirmed that this works on Mint 20.1 with Cinnamon 4.8.6.)
I am trying to use the "Open Containing Folder" keyboard shortcut for VSCode.
I am running VSCode 1.23.1, on Linux Mint 18.3.
I have confirmed the command works correctly when I use the mouse to initiate from the context menu.
But when I use the Alt+Ctrl+R hotkey, it fails to work.
So either VSCode is broke or Linux Mint is eating that key combo.
I can not seem to confirm if the key combo is already assigned in Linux Mint. I have tried assigning that key combo to something else and it did not warn me that it is already mapped....so I assume it is not.
Left click on the file or folder first, then Ctrl+Alt+R should work.
If you're cursor is inside the text of the file, the shortcut will not work.
You may need to upgrade to VSCode Version 1.24.0.
Make sure US keyboard is first keyboard:
I'm using Komodo-edit on Ubuntu 14.04 with Gnome fallback metacity window manager. Since upgrade from Ubuntu 13.10, select and copy using the mouse do not work. I can select the word or phrase with the left mouse but as soon as a I use right mouse click to copy or find, etc., the selection goes away. This forces me to select with mouse and then use keyboard shortcuts to complete the operation. Very inconvenient. I have since moved to Sublime Text but would prefer to use Komodo. Can anyone advise how to get mouse control working again? Thank you.
I switched to Unity and found that the mouse worked as expected. I have never adjusted to unity , but found a link that allowed me customize it to work more acceptably by installing cairo dock.

On my Mac I can open up the Sublime Text 3 package explorer using Cmd+Shift+P. How can I do this on my windows machine? ctrl+Shift+P doesn't work for me and a google search yielded nothing.
CtrlShiftP is the default key binding for the Command Palette on Windows (and Linux). If it's not working for you, click on the Tools menu and see what shortcut is listed next to the Command Palette option (it should be the first entry in the menu).
I just installed Linux Mint 15 mate, and the menu crashed so I closed it. Now, the menu doesn't appear in the bottom left of the screen and I can't pull it up by pressing the Windows key. How do I restart the menu? Is there a terminal command for it? I tried restarting, expecting it to automatically load, but it didn't work.
