Some keyboard shortcuts stop working when launching from terminal

[azdavis]

• VSCode Version: Version: 1.33.0-insider, Commit: 4039ea8
• OS Version: Darwin x64 18.5.0

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Launch VSCode with no files
2. Open a new file from a terminal (not VSCode's terminal; something like code file.txt)
3. Try to use Add Next Occurrence (see below); it doesn't work (the menu bar just 'flashes')
4. Move the focus away from VSCode (e.g. click on some other app), then back
5. Try to use Add Next Occurrence; it does work

What I did to "try to use Add Next Occurrence":

1. Type asdf
2. Hit Command-D (the shortcut for Add Next Occurrence)
3. Expect it to select asdf, it doesn't

A similar issue occurs with Copy Line Down. But the issue does not occur with Add Cursor Above or Add Cursor Below. I haven't tried other shortcuts.

The issues does not appear to happen if you skip step 1. But even if you skip step 1, it only doesn't happen for the first time.

What that means is: if VSCode is not running, and I launch it with code file.txt, then the shortcuts work in file.txt. But if I then do code other.txt, then the shortcuts do not work until I move the focus away and back as described.

Actually, the filename other.txt doesn't even have to be different from file.txt. So I can do code file.txt and the shortcuts will work, but then I can do code file.txt again and the shortcuts stop working.

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

@azdavis I cannot reproduce on my mac. I launch code README.md for example and press cmd+d. This works immediately for me.

[azdavis]

Hm. Was VSCode already running when you said code README.md? Also, from my testing the bug only seems to occur when the file does not already exist. When you tried it, did README.md already exist?

I can reliably reproduce this on my Mac; I can try to attach a screen recording if that might help.

@azdavis I could not reproduce even if the file does not exist. Have you by any chance customized your keybindings.json?

[azdavis]

Here is my keybindings.json.

However, the problem persists even when I turn off the custom keybindings.

Here is a video of the problem.

Thank you, I could now reproduce.
