@lazba Its not related to the AUR build.
Look at your keyboard shortcuts in VS Code, you'll likely see ctrl + shift + v are used for multiple things.
Preferably post questions like this on the Arch forum or other forum or on Github. There's an AUR section in the Arch forums.
The latest update has some sort of focus problem: if I want to paste in the integrated terminal (Ctrl+Shift+V) it will instead toggle view of the markdown file
As mentioned in the pinned FAQ, please stop flagging the package as out-of-date for v1.118.1 until it's published on the website AND tagged on GitHub.
The tag is still missing as of this moment.
Since https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/visual-studio-code-bin?O=70#comment-1032100 the native window titlebar is no longer working with wayland and KDE/Plasma.
JS.Siggen5.44590 isn't a real threat. It prints an anti-war message in Russian timezones. Russian antivirus vendors (Dr.Web and Kaspersky) have incorrectly classified this package as malware. Slava Ukraini.
Latest release is infected with JS.Siggen5.44590.
Yes, likely a caching issue with AUR's CDN and/or scraper protection.
Hmm, for some reason "Download snapshot" in the top right still downloads 1.115.0-1 for me. Anyone else have that issue? Git clone works correctly.
Thanks, everyone. Version 1.116.0 is out, and I commented out the setuid line and left a comment for anyone using kernels without user namespaces. If you are using linux or linux-lts you're not affected.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (read before flagging or commenting!)
This is the official binary distribution from Microsoft. The one in the community repo is an unofficial build made from source. Beyond the licence difference and branding, there are some proprietary features not available in the open-source version.
This package depends on both the official tarball and files from GitHub. Please check this page AND this page before flagging as out-of-date. If the new version isn't on both pages, this package cannot be updated! If you can see the new version on both pages, but the AUR package is still not updated, flag it and give it time. It's usually done within hours.
Sometimes AUR helpers do weird things. Download the tarball and install it manually with
makepkg -si. If that works, report the problem to your AUR helper's upstream, not here.xdg-openuses vscode, not my file manager! How do I fix this?Install
shared-mime-info-gnomegnome-sessionwhich now includes mimemapps.Just because $X is not required to open the app, doesn't mean there is nothing that depends on it. Always search the comment history on AUR to see if that dependency has been previously discussed before writing your own comment. Still nothing? Then use namcap to make sure it's really not needed. If namcap doesn't complain, please leave a comment here and I'll investigate.
The problem might be a packaging issue (wrong paths, dependencies, icons), so please write a comment here first. If you don't get a reply, or if someone says it's an upstream issue, you can report it on GitHub.
No, you won't get a reply. Please stop doing this. Leave a comment here instead and be patient.
