🚀 QuickFire

Execute VS Code commands and nested workflows instantly with a single keystroke—no Enter required.

QuickFire allows you to create a customized menu of actions that you can trigger instantly. Unlike the default QuickPick, QuickFire executes the command as soon as you press the assigned key—no Enter required.

✨ Features

🚀 Single Keystroke Execution: Press a key, and the command fires immediately.
📂 Nested Menus: Organize your complex workflows into logical sub-menus.
⚙️ Argument Support: Pass strings, objects, or even vscode:// URIs directly to commands.
🔙 Rapid Navigation: Use Backspace to quickly navigate back up through nested menus.
⌨️ Keyboard Centric: Designed for power users who want to keep their hands on the home row.

🚀 Getting Started

Install the extension from the VS Code Marketplace.
Configure your actions in settings.json (see Configuration below).
Bind the command QuickFire: Show actions (quickfire.showQuickActions) to a convenient keyboard shortcut like Ctrl+Alt+Q or Cmd+Shift+Space.

⚙️ Configuration

Open your user settings.json and add your custom actions to the quickfire.actions array.
