Visual Studio Code - CTRL Commands work for code and pieces of text in editor and OS but not in 'Folders' View

Hi,

It's a fairly simple question ..
If I press CTRL + C and CTRL + V (f.e .. it also happens on F2 to rename a file) in the open editor of a file on pieces of code / text, i'm able to succesfully use all CTRL + '..' commands without any issues, also 'F1,F2,F3,...' commands are no problem.

If i go to the 'folders' view and i try to CTRL + C and CTRL + V or use any F.. key, it just doesn't seems to work. I can't copy paste files, but i can drag them and hold CTRL to copy them for example.

Rename a file:

The keyboard shortcuts are present in my keyboard shortcuts in vscode and they are working in any other editor, except for VSCODE.

Some info, let me know if you require more:

  • VSCODE: Last version
  • Operating System: Windows
  • Keyboard: *External Logitech Keyboard but also happens on keyboard of laptop Raw log:*
