🏗️ How It Works

Simple architecture:

• Extension Entry Point (src/extension.ts): Handles activation and command registration
• ExtensionManager (src/managers/ExtensionManager.ts): Coordinates extension lifecycle and services
• KeypressService (src/services/KeypressService.ts): Detects and shows notifications for multi-key commands
• ConfigurationService (src/services/ConfigurationService.ts): Manages extension settings
• Configuration: Basic settings for enabling/disabling and minimum key count

The extension works by tracking common multi-key command executions and displaying notifications when they're detected.
