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.
