VSCode New File Shortcut Stops Working

VS Code started reporting this error recently any time I pressed CMD+N (New File):

command '-workbench.action.files.newUntitledFile' not found

The root cause of this issue was that the Dart language plugin needed to be reloaded. I assume this might also be the case for any other language plugin that is installed. If shortcut keys stop working, try checking your plugins and reloading them.
