Hello,
for some reason, the Escape key to enter command mode in my Jupyterlab session is not working.
I already tried disabling all other extensions to no avail. I also tried with jupyter notebook and makes no difference.

How should I start troubleshooting this problem?
Thank you!

$ jupyter --version
jupyter core     : 4.7.1
jupyter-notebook : 6.2.0
qtconsole        : 5.0.2
ipython          : 7.31.1
ipykernel        : 5.3.4
jupyter client   : 6.1.7
jupyter lab      : 2.3.2
nbconvert        : 6.0.7
ipywidgets       : 7.6.5
nbformat         : 5.1.2
traitlets        : 5.0.5

running on top of:

$ dmesg | head -1

All instances of Escape shortcut in my keyboard default settings, while I have none added in user preferences:

{
            "command": "notebook:enter-command-mode",
            "keys": [
                "Escape"
            ],
            "selector": ".jp-Notebook.jp-mod-editMode"
        },
       {
            "command": "tooltip:dismiss",
            "keys": [
                "Escape"
            ],
            "selector": "body.jp-mod-tooltip .jp-CodeConsole-promptCell"
        },
        {
            "command": "tooltip:dismiss",
            "keys": [
                "Escape"
            ],
