Keyboard Shortcut Not Working with VSIX Installer

Question

I've created a VSIX Package, and I've added the KeyBindings Section in my .vsct file. When I run an experimental instance of Visual Studio, the keyboard shortcut works, but when I actually install the vsix package on my machine, the keyboard shortcut doesn't work, despite the other aspects of the addin working. Is there anything else that would be stopping the shortcut from binding properly?

The Key Bindings

<KeyBindings>
        <KeyBinding guid="MyAddinCmdSet" id="cmdidRollback" editor="guidVSStd97" key1="VK_NUMPAD2" mod1="CONTROL"/>         
</KeyBindings>

The Command in my vspackage

CommandID CommandIDRollback = new CommandID(GuidList.MyAddinCmdSet, (int)PkgCmdIDList.cmdidRollback);
                MenuCommand menuItemRollback = new MenuCommand(MenuItemCallbackRollback, CommandIDRollback);
                mcs.AddCommand( menuItemRollback);

Answer 1

key1="VK_NUMPAD2" is Numeric keypad 2 key, and doesn't work with the "2 K" keyboard , you can use key one code 0x32 , but this shortcut already reserved for QueryDesigner.Criterria() so you can't use it.

If you target the Numeric keypad and it doesn't work you have to make sure this shortcut doesn't reserved for visual studio functionality.

For key code see Virtual-Key Codes.

change your code as the below :

<KeyBindings>
   <KeyBinding guid="MyAddinCmdSet" id="cmdidRollback" editor="guidVSStd97" key1="0x32" mod1="CONTROL"/>         
</KeyBindings>
