Problem

• Whilst using VS Code my Cmd + N keyboard shortcut stopped creating a new file
• I was stumped on how to figure out what was causing the issue

Solution

• Looking around on Stack Overflow people suggested looking at the Keybindings as installed plugins can cause keyboard shortcut conflicts
• In VS Code go to Preferences > Keyboard Shortcuts
• Whilst poking around here I discovered a handy little feature of VS Code where you can type a keyboard shortcut and find out what it's mapped to.
• You just have to click the little keyboard icon (1)
• I typed in Cmd + N and lo and behold it popped up with two entries and I found the source of the conflict and deleted the conflicting one
