How to restore an accidentally deleted keyboard shortcut from a VSCode extension?

I was configuring PostgreSQL VSCode extension and when customizing some keyboards shortcuts, I excluded an essencial functionality of querying database through F5. It seems to be accessible only through this shortcut, and in settings.json I didn't see anything regarding to it.

(It's supposed to show F5 shortcut in first result)

Not sure if it is something related to this extension specifically, but even if I reinstalled it and reloaded VSCode, the mentioned shortcut won't show up. I think my configuration is cached somewhere (I wonder where). How can I restore it?

I resolve this problem delete some files:

rm -rf ~/.config/Code/User/globalStorage 
rm ~/.config/Code/User/keybindings.json

Now you can open your vscode, and your keyboard settings was restarted

If it was a key binding than there has to be a command that has the functionality. Most likely that command can also be accessed from the Command Palette. Or you can find the commands exported by the extension on the Feature Contributions tab of the extensions page (Extension Bar)

If the binding is defined in the extension you can't loose/delete it, than probably you have defined another command to F5.

View/Delete/Save your keybinding.json or use the key binding debugging
