Research direction
Investigate the keybinding handling in VSCode, focusing on macOS specific shortcuts. Look at the source files under `src/vs/platform/keybinding/` and `src/vs/code/electron main/keyboard.ts`. Check the comments in the issue for any identified root causes or attempts. Consider testing with different keyboard layouts. Since there is an assignee, coordinate to avoid duplication.
