Confusion with copy/paste key bindings with file explorer  #208069

Open

Description

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

  • VS Code Version: 1.87.2
  • OS Version: N/A - vscode.dev

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Open vscode.dev (I tested with 1.87.2)
  2. Open some text editor
  3. Ctrl + c from file explorer, Ctrl +v to the text editor will paste the file path as expected.
  4. Go to external editor and copy some text from there, and do Copy + v to see it is pasted in the notepad.
  5. Go back to vscode text editor and do:
  • context menu (right click)-> paste will copy from windows as expected
  • Ctrl + v will copy from from previous clipboard

Also this scenario is a bit problematic:

  1. ctrl + c from file explorer on some file
  2. cannot paste to external editor
