Shortcut for Copy/Paste not work in VSCode

Now I'm using the latest Visual Studio Code on Ubuntu 20.04 and face the problem with the Copy/Paste shortcut. When I use Ctrl+C, it is not Copy the chosen code to the clipboard, it has been changed to Insert mode instead. And I even not be able to use Ctrl+X and Ctrl+V. I have tried to reinstall the program but the problem still there. With other IDE, it still works normally. So, please help to fix this problem!

I am also on Ubuntu, but version 22.04. For me, it was an extension causing ctrl + c to no longer copy. Look at your extensions and see what shortcut keys they have mapped. Or just disable each extension and try to copy/paste until it works and then you'll have your culprit.

You might have Ctrl+C assigned to multiple commands. Just right click on any file to go to the last option - Command Pallete, type the command Copy and see what other extension is using Ctrl+C which is not related to copying, and just remove the command from that extension. Also if you right click on any file that contains cody / text you should see the the command Ctrl+C assinged to the option copy.
