Copy and Paste not working

[Chieze-Franklin]

Issue Type: Bug

When I copy a text and paste it, the text I copied is not pasted. Instead, the one I wanted the replace with the copied text is pasted, as if I never even did any copy and paste. Now I'm forced to type everything out because paste is not working.

I can't reproduce. Can you please check that Copy and Paste are correctly bound to your shortcut? Please use the Code > Preferences > Keyboard Shortcuts menu.

I have the same issue on VSCode Version 1.31.1 (1.31.1) 1b8e830 2019-02-12T02:10:22.500Z

Seems the problem is related to after key press of "Cmd+c" shortcut, VSCode will still be waiting for more key input, and some other key press may cause it missing the "copy" trigger.

The easiest way to reproduce is

1. Select a text, e.g. "ABCD", Cmd+c to copy
2. Select another text, e.g. "CDEF", quickly do Cmd+c, Cmd+f and Cmd+v (hold the Cmd key, press "c", "f", "v" keys in sequence)
3. You will see the "ABCD" in search dialog instead of "CDEF"

Another scenario to prove the VSCode is waiting for more input:

1. Select a text, e.g. "ABCD"
2. Quickly input Cmd+c, Cmd+v and Cmd+v (hold the Cmd key, press "c", "v", "v" keys in sequence)
3. You will notice the ABCD only get pasted once, instead of twice as expected; and there is obvious stuck after first Cmd+v key press.

@sonicfly Can you please try to disable all extensions? Can you also try to check your keybindings around "cmd+c" ? e.g.

Seems the vscodevim plug-in causes the problem. Disable it and it is all good.
