Startingabout a week ago (11/30/2017) I noticed that ctrl+shift+space was no longer working in visual studio (any version) to show the parameter info of a method invocation. I did quite a bit of searching to figure out the problem, especially here on SO, and I couldn't find a solution. I also double-checked my VS settings and even reverted back to an old settings file.

I methodically started closing applications to see if another application was stealing the input. My hunch was right and it turned out to be the Microsoft Teams desktop application. It turns out that Teams already has a similar bug open about shortcut keys related to the Polish language not working correctly when Teams is running. Those details are here: -public/suggestions/32265802-alt-a-and-alt-s-affecting-polish-character-for-%C4%85


Nothing worked for me. I use also Resharper. So I had to reset my VS key bindings and reapply Resharper shortcuts. Only this got me it working. If you do not use resharper then it's enough to only do the first step and reset VS keyboard configuration to default


Had the same issue. I used to press Ctrl + Shift + Space to see the method parameters info and I was stuck when it stopped working. But I figured out that default Visual Studio shortcut settings changed, and now it corresponds to the Ctril + K,P shortcut. You can see it under Edit -> IntelliSens menu. And it is easily changeable to Ctrl + Shift + Space under Tool -> Options , then Environment/Keyboard section.


For me, it was Microsoft Teams that was absorbing the Ctrl + Shift + Space shortcut. I've searched the keybinding definitions in Visual Studio 2022 Tools > Options menu, section Environment > Keyboard and unfortunately I did not find any other alternative for the Edit.ParameterInfo command:


I know I could add a custom shortcut of my preference, but I do not want to have a shortcut which is not universal; when I change computer and I go to a different machine, the same shortcut will not be there.


Then, I decided to go by a more universal thing: The menu shortcut for this option (Press Alt key to see the respective letters underlined). It is located at menu Edit > IntelliSense > Parameter Info, which results in the Alt + E + I + P keyboard shortcut.


I was having issues with my Visual Studio and Notepad++ because a commonly used shortcut stopped working. Ctrl+Shift+L is a delete line shortcut. ReLive doesn't use this exact shortcut but it seems to capture and block the shortcut from passing to other apps - even when ReLive is disabled/turned off (but still installed).


Since my original post I actually found out how to disable the shortcut but didn't post anything here because there was little interest in this issue (apart from one unhelpful reply ). However, you seem to be genuinely just as annoyed as I was, so hope this helps.


To remove the shortcut (not an obvious process at all!) you need to click the Toggle Performance Logging Hotkey button, it will then ask to enter your hotkey, you then press delete - that is Del (not backspace, not esc or anything else - the Del key).


There has already been a few update releases since the original post in this thread, yet this problem persists. The only solution appears to be to wholly uninstall the drivers package. Whether you install the full Adrenalin Edition or the AMD Minimal Setup version, and opt to *not* install the AMD ReLive, the AMD ReLive: Desktop Overlay and AMD ReLive: Host Application are still installed, are running as active processes, and still function to: as ritchie says above, "As said above, the exact shortcut isn't even used. ReLive is intercepting ALL Ctrl + Shift + [any letter] key combos and interfering with other applications' shortcuts."


Follow up: I installed the Adrenalin Edition 18.5.2 Optional version and chose this time to *not* install the System. Either this is the work around, or AMD has actually addressed the issue in this optional release, but neither the AMD ReLive: Desktop Overlay nor the AMD ReLive: Host Application are running. I restarted my system twice to be sure. I was also never given the option to check/uncheck the install ReLive which may be for the reason I chose to not install the System.


Just went through the painstaking process of creating an account for this site just to tell you thanks for posting the solution. I already spent quite enough time trying to track down the program itself but finding this setting and how to clear out the shortcut (instead of entering another one) would have taken forever!


Thank you! I had an issue with google chrome, where ctrl-shift-o wasn't opening the bookmarks, or doing anything else. It was only today that it started opening what I thought was a random gpu statistics overlay that I looked for something else causing the issue... this was the first google result that came up, and it worked perfectly!


Naturally, I meant only the registry keys that contain actual key combinations, I would not recommend changing any other. I deleted all the registry keys that have a combination specified in Data column, and so far it didn't break anything (apart, of course, for the combinations not working with amd software anymore)


I even submitted an issue to Microsoft thinking that their new Edge release had a bug in it preventing me from using Ctrl+Shift+C: Ctrl+Shift+C Developer Keyboard Shortcut Doesn't Work - Microsoft Community


AMD, if you're reading this, never take over keyboard shortcuts without the ability to change/remove the bindings, and ALWAYS show some sort of feedback when the shortcut is pressed. I cannot express how frustrating this is for people! How did this pass QA?!


Hi, I am a software developer and have the same interference issue as well, I don't want Ctrl or Alt shortcuts to conflict with my development software shortcuts and therefore I would really like to map the Windows key for all of these.


My story with Visual Studio Code (aka VS Code and vscode) hasn't been the typical love story but more of a toxic relationship. We've broken up and got back together so many times I can't even tell. But after all this time and all the experience behind us, I think we're both more mature now and it's the perfect time for this relationship to finally work.


Jokes aside, it's a fact that when we get used to working with a specific tool, in the end we all tend to fall in love with it. And this is perfectly normal, you feel more productive and everything feels really easy to do. You can do the exact same thing with many different tools, but with your favourite one you just do it faster and better, it boosts your productivity.


When I began to work as a developer, my IDE was Eclipse until one awesome day I discovered the JetBrains suite and it was love at first sight. Since then, I've been working mostly with IntelliJ for the backend stuff and WebStorm for the frontend.


I just used VS Code for personal projects mostly to try something new, both the IDE and the project itself. But every time I tried to use VS Code in my job, I ended up frustrated, but it was because I wasn't feeling productive. The truth is that I wasn't using the right setup for me.


At Codegram most of the team use VS Code, on twitter there are many people that I follow (and that I look up to) that use it too, so the real question is, why not? I had given several tries in the past, why not another one?


I can't count how many times this has saved the day. With WebStorm or any JetBrains IDE you just right click on any file and go to Local History > Show History and a new windows pop ups with all the changes you've made, so if you want to back an hour ago, you can! Just a minor reminder with this plugin, add .history/ to .gitignore.


You can open the terminal on VS Code with a shortcut, but in WebStorm there's always a tab for that. For once I got used to a button instead of a shortcut. This plugin does the trick by adding a toggle button to your interface.


With WebStorm you could create components with the UI, so you could add a new Vue component, or Angular component, with the base structure empty in the created file. There are several snippets for VS Code depending on the framework you work with. In my case, I work with Vue so I'm using Vue VS Code Snippets. I also have Vetur for Syntax-highlighting among other features to help coding with Vue.


One of the things that made me go back to WebStorm in the past was the shortuts. There are some keyboard shortcuts that once you get used to them, you just can't change them. Well, you could, but you'd rather not. So what I did to make the migration process less painful was to keep the shortcuts that I use the most.


I must say that there is an IntelliJ IDEA keybinding plugin, but it has a huge bug in my opinion. You cannot open files with a shortcut! In the JetBrains suite you hit Double SHIFT to open a file, the equivalent in VS Code would be CMD+P. The problem is that Double SHIFT is not a possible command in VS Code, so since the plugin overrides the VS Code keymap, you end up without being able to open a file neither with Double SHIFT nor CMD+P.


The first one wasn't doing me any good really, cause I was so used to JetBrains UI for Git that it made me dependant on it. It boosted my productivity, and I find features like Project Update (CTRL/CMD+T) really helpful. This would do git fetch && git pull just with a keyboard shortcut. But in the end you forget what's really going on and that can be dangerous.
