Solved: Visual Studio Code Input not Working.

Introduction

Every day, developers are usually exploring new solutions that software packages to make their programming experience more pleasant. Every day, we all confront different challenges, and it is these challenges that determine our progress as developers. But what if the tool you use on a daily basis starts acting up? This is a really significant problem that has left most of us in a state of despair, and we are left wondering what is going on.

Today, there are a lot of tools available to do so, but not all of them are going to have the same effect across different developers.

So, I had a problem at work for two days, which caused me to be less productive. I was trying to type into my VSCode editor, but the input does not appear in the editor when I type. In this article, I'll show you how I solved it in 3 simple ways.

  • First of all, launch your VSCode
