[!NOTE]
Disabled Default Shortcuts
This extension intentionally disables the following default VS Code shortcuts to avoid conflicts:
Ctrl+P / ⌘+P — Quick Open (disabled to prevent conflicts with custom shortcuts)
- Alternative: Use
Shift+Alt+E for Quick Open
Ctrl+Enter / ⌘+Enter — GitHub Copilot Generate (disabled)
- Reason: Conflicts with terminal and git commit workflows
If you need these shortcuts, you can re-enable them in your keybindings.json:
[
{ "key": "ctrl+p", "command": "workbench.action.quickOpen" },
{ "key": "ctrl+enter", "command": "github.copilot.generate" }
]
Known Limitations
Alt+CapsLock may not work on some Linux distributions or Windows systems where CapsLock is remapped at the OS level. If this shortcut doesn't work, check your system keyboard settings or use alternative shortcuts.
