Question on hotkey Shift-Esc

[mondwan]

In #349, it fixed the hotkey shift+escape to Hide Active Tool Window. So, it can hide the terminal as expected. But, how can I "show" the terminal again?

Before the fix, I can "Shift+Escape" to hide the terminal, and pressing the same hotkey for getting the terminal back. After updating this plugin to latest version, however, I cannot do so.

Currently, I rolled back the key binding version due to this reason. Just wondering is there any way for configuring this plugin / vscode so that it can "show" the terminal again by pressing the same hotkey?

This change emulates IntelliJ's shortcuts We need to use alt+f12 instead of shift+esc for the toggle terminal Please see https://github.com/kasecato/vscode-intellij-idea-keybindings/issues/103

@kasecato While it's more consistent with IntelliJ, it's less convenient. Now every time I use the new keybinding, I get a new terminal, which sucks.

Since the previous shift + esc keybinding is now free, is it possible to keep the old default behavior (New or last used terminal) under that keybinding?

@kasecato Thanks for the confirmations. But I agree with @Skaldebane point of view.

Any suggestion on how can we customise the configuration so that we can have the original behaviour if we want to?

Thanks for your time

@Skaldebane @mondwan We can add the below keybinding to the keybindings.json See https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/getstarted/keybindings#_advanced-customization

[
    {
        "key": "shift+escape",
        "mac": "shift+escape",
        "command": "workbench.action.terminal.toggleTerminal",
        "intellij": "Hide active or last active window (Terminal)"
    }
]
