Arrow keys completely stopped working in Code

[StephenWeatherford]

• VSCode Version: Code 1.11.1 (d9484d1, 2017-04-06T13:55:56.395Z)
• OS Version: Linux x64 4.4.0-72-generic
• Extensions:

Extension	Author	Version
Go	lukehoban	0.6.59

---

Steps to Reproduce:

I was typing, and all of a sudden my arrow keys no longer work inside VS Code. They work in every other application, just not Code. I've tried:

1. Signing off/in
2. rebooting the Linux machine
3. rebooting my Windows host machine (I'm using VS Code inside a Linux machine via Remote Desktop)
4. Pressing all the shift/control/etc keys on my keyboard
5. Scroll lock etc
6. Num lock
7. Checked that I don't have key mapping overrides

Still can't use the arrow keys at all. This makes it nearly impossible to use.

Sure, if you can tell me what/where to install from.

I get a window saying “Starting Visual Studio Code – Insiders”, but after several seconds it goes away and the app never shows.
