VSC does not recognize ctrl+c in "Python interactive" session randomly

Question

Basically what the title says, since 1-3 days ago randomly when I press ctrl+c to copy a variable or text or whatever from the python interactive component of the VSC it doesn't copy. I have looked through my shortcut preferences for both ctrl+c and for copy to see if something was interfering but there doesn't seem to be anything. And when I use ctrl+c anywhere else I never have had a problem so it cant be with my keyboard.

I am truly lost and about to go insane from this it is extraordinarily frustrating, so would highly appreciate if anyone more familiar with VSC than me had any thoughts

Answer 1

I'm a developer on the Python extension. There is actually a general VSCode issue affecting copy and paste commands for all webviews (which includes our current notebooks implementation) symptoms are either double paste and cut operations or paste and cut operations not working at all. I believe that this should be resolved in current vscode insiders builds, but I don't believe that the fix is in main VS Code releases yet. This is the VSCode issue tracking the problem. https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/101946

Answer 2

try ctrl + shift + c, maybe that'll work
