[FEATURE] - Keyboard Shortcut - Open In New Window #710

Closed josephcrawfordSRH closed 9 months ago

josephcrawfordSRH commented 9 months ago

I have my project list opened by cmd+; and I can quickly search and jump to a new project without leaving my keyboard. I have checked the keyboard shortcut settings but I have not found the ability to add a keyboard shortcut for the list so that if I were to say hold cmd+enter or shift+enter it would tell the extension to open in a new window. I know I can have it set to always open in new windows or I can click the icon to do so. However, I try to grab my mouse as little as possible and would appreciate the ability to set a keyboard shortcut for this.

Hi @josephcrawfordSRH ,

This has already been requested in #76, but it depends on VS Code exposing/supporting modifiers for the keybindings. Unfortunately, this is still not available yet.

So, in this case, the best approach is to use a separate keyboard shortcut for the List Projects to Open in New Window command. The downside is that you need to decide upfront if you want open in the current or new window.

Hope this helps

@alefragnani that suits my needs perfectly, I was not aware there were different windows I can manage using that because I will know when I want it in a new window. Thanks for bringing this option to my attention.
