Lynx Keymap Pro — Keybinding Reference

Optimized for Pro keyboards across VSCode · Cursor · Windsurf · Trae-ai · Kiro · Antigravity & Firebase.studio.

🎛️ Compact Mode — 75%

Press Alt + 0 to swap between the standard layout and the compact layout — designed for keyboards without a function row or arrow cluster. The bindings below are only active while the compact layout is enabled.

⌨️ General Keybindings — Pro

Smart Close (Ctrl + Tab) is context-aware:

• If the terminal is occupying the side panel → closes the terminal.
• Otherwise → opens/closes the AI Chat.

▶️ Debugging

🔀 Git

To use these commands, you must first go to Source Control (as they do not work directly) or press the shortcut Ctrl + 2.

[!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.
