[request] - Use "build" shortcut to "Run Swing" if codeswing is open #26

Closed jasonwilliams closed 3 years ago

jasonwilliams commented 3 years ago

VSCode has pre-defined shortcuts for build. This means it's already natural for users to run this when they want to execute a script or start building something they've put together. It's a good match for CodeSwing to bind this to "Run Swing".

On MacOS its:

{
  "key": "shift+cmd+b",
  "command": "workbench.action.tasks.build"
}

It would be good to make use of this when inside a codeswing to run the code (or hit "run swing" effectively). As users are already familiar with this it would be more intuitive (rather than making a new shortcut). In order to not be disruptive to existing workflows it can only be active when a codeswing is open, this way it's only overridden when someone is actively using codeswing and not all the time.

That's an awesome suggestion! I should be able to slip this in this week 👍
