Cannot eXit from Nano with Control + X in Visual Studio Code Terminal. Is there another shortcut?

Question

Control + X doesn't work to exit Nano in Visual Studio Code Terminal (I'm on Mac). I've edited a file, then saved it with Control + O. Works fine. But when I try to eXit Nano in the terminal it doesn't work. Is there another shortcut?

Answer 1

You will need to deny chord keybindings in the terminal.

Open your preferences, go to Features, Terminal and then uncheck "Integrated: Allow Chords". If you like better to edit the settings JSON, just put this there: "terminal.integrated.allowChords": false.
