debug.copyStackTrace doesn't work when called outside the callstack context menu

[ivanhernandez13]

Issue Type: Bug

I wanted to be able to copy the call stack through a keyboard shortcut so I created a binding for debug.copyStackTrace but found that it doesn't do anything. I tried different combinations of when clauses and ensured that my keystroke was not being captured by something else but still no luck.

Invoking the command directly in my extension like so vscode.commands.executeCommand('debug.copyStackTrace') also did not work and the thenable resolved to undefined.

The comment here and post here imply this should work outside of the callstack context so I've filed this as a bug as opposed to a feature request for a keyboard shortcut to copy the call stack.

The comment in code applies to the commands in general but that particular command can't be called globally currently. It copies a callstack from one thread and there can be multiple callstacks available so one has to selected to copy.

Do you want the keybinding to work on the focused thread, or does that not help?

[ivanhernandez13]

Yes, defaulting to the focused thread was my expectation.
