Why do my VS Code keybindings change when I open IntelliJ IDEA projects?

Question

In VS Code, my keybindings change when I open a project. I have enabled the "Default" profile in File > Preferences > Profile but when opening a project (IntelliJ project) the keybindings change.

The bindings change in all other instance until I have closed the instances and completely reopen VS Code.

For example when I open VS Code without a project (workspace folder), I can create a new file with CTRL + N. When I open a project it changes to ALT + Insert.

How can I disable / control this behavior?
Why does this happen?

Does the project file (.code-workspace) specify custom settings? — andber1, Mar 27 '23 at 15:41
Do the keybinding changes reflect in the keyboard shortcut editor UI? — starball, Mar 27 '23 at 18:00
I have found the issue now. It was an extension (IntelliJ IDEA keybindings) which changes the shortcuts when opening idea projects. — Code Spirit, Mar 28 '23 at 09:17

You likely have the k--kato.intellij-idea-keybindings extension installed. If you want to disable this behaviour, you can disable the extension. You can disable it globally, or on specific workspaces.
