[FEATURE]: Keyboard Shortcut for IDE Extension conlict with Windows shortcut #20395
Closed as not planned
Description
Feature hasn't been suggested before.
- I have verified this feature I'm about to request hasn't been suggested before.
Describe the enhancement you want to request
Current default shortcut on IDE Extension conflicts with Windows shortcut.
Changing default shortcut for Quick launch & New session to something else would be better😋
Quick Launch: Use Cmd+Esc (Mac) or Ctrl+Esc (Windows/Linux) to open OpenCode in a split terminal view, or focus an existing terminal session if one is already running.
New Session: Use Cmd+Shift+Esc (Mac) or Ctrl+Shift+Esc (Windows/Linux) to start a new OpenCode terminal session, even if one is already open. You can also click the OpenCode button in the UI.
Ref2: Windows Shortcut
Ctrl + Esc Open the Start menu.
Ctrl + Shift + Esc Open Task Manager.

It's keybind in VSCode/Other IDE extensions, not TUI

Couldn't believe it was the default considering Ctrl + Esc & Ctrl + Shift + Esc have been a shortcut in Windows for decades smh.

I changed my VSCode user keybinds to Win+Esc and Win+Shift+Esc, although for me both do practically the same thing (just opens a new tab rather than split terminal, regardless of which I use). I'd propose these are perhaps "better" defaults on Windows for use in the actual IDE extension, but barring that, you can override the extension defaults in your user config.
