Custom shortcuts
Change any shortcut in Settings, under [keybindings]. Use the command’s id from the tables above. Your keys replace the defaults, and an empty value turns the shortcut off.
If a shortcut can’t be read, names an unknown command, uses a key another command already has, or belongs to the browser or the system, that command keeps its default. Settings explains why. The shortcut help and the command palette show the keys that are in effect.
[keybindings]
"palette.open" = "P"
"ticket.create" = ""Open Settings, edit the file, and choose Save. The new keys show in the shortcut help and the command palette without a restart.
