vscode: cmd+shift+e not working if activity bar is hidden
Type: Bug
some basic keyboard shortcuts like [ cmd+shift+e (show explorer), cmd+shift+x (show extensions), ] don’t work if activity bar is hidden.
i re-installed vscode after deleting vscode.app from /Application, ~/.vscode and ~/Library/Application\ Support/Code but the shortcuts doesn’t work after sync and add some folders as trusted workspaces. (i even deleted my github config sync for debugging) but none of these worked.
i eventually found that showing activity bar all the time (top or side, not hidden) make the problem disappear.

@ArmenQocharyan it will be fixed in upcoming recovery release, 1.84.1
me too. showing activity bar on “top” saves horizontal space FYI
anyway then the problem can be reproduced even on ubuntu environment (not only macos).
