A few days ago I installed a fresh Ubuntu 24.04.1 on my PC alongside with Windows 10. I also installed VSCode (via AppCenter, also tried via VSCode's official website) and noticed, that many shortcuts doesn't work at all or make different actions. For example:
And so on. The keybindings are the same as for Windows. I tried to reinstall, to debug it through "Developer: Toggle Keyboard Shortcuts Troubleshooting" and the logs were OK. For example, for Ctrl + 2 (the action workbench.action.focusSecondEditorGroup was fired):

I tried to google for it but there was nothing much. The closest to find was this: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/212430 And nothing from there worked.
Has anyone encountered the same issue? Thank you!
Ubuntu uses some keybindings for dynamic workspaces. Ctrl + Alt + DownArrow is used for switch-to-workspace-down. You can change it with dconf or terminal commands.
