I am trying to use emacs keybindings in VSCode on a MacBook Pro (Ventura). I won't go through the entire process and issues I've had, but the end result is that it seems impossible to override the "Cut" option in VSCode on Mac. I've removed ALL Command + X keybindings and ALL cut related keybindings execCut, clipboardCutAction and deleteLine.
Even then, Command + X will yank the whole line, empty or not. This is an issue for me as I am used to the Ctrl + X + S save mode of emacs.
I have tried:
- Disabling all extensions
- Restarting VSCode
- Restarting the machine
- On my friends computer without any VSCode configurations
- Tried setting the dispatch to
keyCode
Here is the full keyboard debugging log when pressing Command + X:
