Chat eating keybinds?

Bug Report
1

I have some keybinds setup like so:

{
  "key": "cmd+1",
  "command": "workbench.action.focusSideBar"
},
{
  "key": "cmd+2",
  "command": "workbench.action.focusActiveEditorGroup"
},
{
  "key": "cmd+3",
  "command": "workbench.action.terminal.focus"
},
{
  "key": "cmd+4",
  "command": "workbench.action.focusAuxiliaryBar"
},

These work fine except when I use cmd+4 to focus cursor chat. Once it’s focused, I can’t use my other binds anymore to switch focus. I don’t have any conflicting keybinds. I’m not sure if this is a bug or I’m doing something wrong.

That’s because you’re focused on the chat input field, which can block some other keybinds. We will strive to handle this more effectively. Thank you for your report!

You can try pressing the tab key once to unfocus from the input field and then use your other keybinds.
