Description

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes

  • VS Code Version:Version: 1.70.2 (Universal)
  • OS Version: macOS 12.5.1

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Adding keybindings.
    {
        "key": "alt+backspace",
        "command": "deleteWordLeft",
        "when": "textInputFocus && !editorReadonly"
    },
    {
        "key": "ctrl+w",
        "command": "deleteWordLeft",
        "when": "textInputFocus && !editorReadonly"
    }
  1. There are different behaviors. Opening Command Palette and inputing test, then pressing alt+backspace will show > in Command Palette. Opening Command Palette and inputing test, then pressing ctrl+w will show nothing(without >) in Command Palette.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the keybinding resolution logic for the Command Palette when text input is focused. Trace the 'deleteWordLeft' command handling and compare the behavior of alt+backspace and ctrl+w.
