vscode: Keyboard Shortcuts `shift+cmd+\` not work

I use shift+cmd+\ to focus terminal tabs view in work, but i found it doesn’t work now. I didn’t change any config of my shortcuts. this is my default config :

{
  "key": "shift+cmd+\\",
  "command": "workbench.action.terminal.focusTabs",
  "when": "terminalFocus && terminalHasBeenCreated || terminalFocus && terminalProcessSupported || terminalHasBeenCreated && terminalTabsFocus || terminalProcessSupported && terminalTabsFocus"
}

I tried to change my key to “shift+cmd+2” or any other, it still doesn’t work. I want to know what the problem is and how to fix it.😭

Hello, just updated VSCode to 1.74 and now this shortcut works fine

Just sharing the behavior I have with that, since I noticed this also some time ago. If it might be helpful.

I didn’t change the keybinding for the workbench.action.terminal.focusTabs action:

I check what is happening after pressing ctrl+shift+\ with Developer: Toggle Keyboard Shortcuts Troubleshooting tool, observing that the command should be invoked, but nothing happens:

My VSCode version is:

Thanks, waiting for any info of it as well.

I also have this issue on Windows. Using the standard English QWERTY keyboard. I had a keybinding which always worked but suddenly stopped working some time ago.
