When I press Ctrl ~ to open the terminal in vscode, instead it will show notifications.

How can I find out which program is intercepting this key combination?

CodePudding user response：

Ctrl ~ is actually Ctrl `

And by default is bound to showing dunst history, check ~/.config/dunst/dunstrc to see the following line is there under the [shortcuts]:

   history = ctrl shift grave

If that's not it, then the problem is probably you're looking for the ~ (tilde), instead of the ` character.

To answer the question there is a way to troubleshoot keybinding issues. See VSCode Wiki: Keybinding Issues.

In your case you could run the command Developer: Toggle Keyboard Shortcuts Troubleshooting (from the Command Palette) and you presumably would have seen the Ctlr ` resolved to some other command with the source being listed as the extension which overrode the built-in command.
