Mac OS Keyboard shortcut for formatting a document not working

[abhinavganguly1987]

Issue Type: Bug

Hi Team,
Lately i've obeserved that on Mac OS, keyboard shortcut of "Shift+Option+F" to format a document is not working, instead it is adding a tilde ~ symbol in the file at the point of current cursor position.

If i do --> right click --> format document with ... --> HTML language features.
It formats the document.
This is happening with all types of files, currently in my project i have HTML. Markdown, CSS, toml and javascript files.

Appreciate your help..
Regards,
Abhinav

Does this occur with all extensions disabled? (F1 > Developer: Reload With Extensions Disabled or code --disable-extensions)

Hi @chrmarti
Thank you for your reply,
Yes, i've already tried with the 'Reload with Extension Disabled as well'
Unfortunately, issue persists, if you want i can send you a screenrecord of the issue

Let's first try to find out what command executes on your machine, with your settings and your keybindings when pressing Shift+Option+F. Could you please try the following:

• Run the command Developer: Toggle Keyboard Shortcuts Troubleshooting
• This will activate logging of dispatched keyboard shortcuts and will open an output panel with the corresponding log file.
• Press exactly the keybinding you desire.
• check what VS Code detects and what command is invoked.

If you are having trouble understanding the output, please feel free to paste here and I can try to help.

Many thanks for your help

Ah

vs_code_macOS_bug.mov

hey @alexdima i think i found the root cause.
It seems that VS code has a bug with ABC-India keyboard layout. If i toggle it to English keyboard layout, the format shortcut Shift+⎇(option)+ F works.
For now, i can do with English keyboard, it is only when i need to use INR symbol like Rupee, i might have to toggle keyboard layout.
Is there any fix for this?
Im attaching the screen recording for your reference.

Thanks for your help
