Description

On windows, Ctrl+Shift+Esc opens the task manager, and Ctrl+Esc opens the start menu. When using these shortcuts in vscode with editor installed, it still does those basic actions, not the ones defined by opencode (adding the selection to the opencode prompt, and to focus/open an opencode editor).

Extension version 0.0.12.

OpenCode version

0.15.14

Steps to reproduce

This issue might be a duplicate of existing issues. Please check:

  • #1927: Similar issue with VSCode extension keyboard shortcuts not working (Cmd+Esc doesn't work on Mac, same shortcuts as Ctrl+Esc on Windows)

Feel free to ignore if none of these address your specific case.

FYU Ctrl+Esc is system-bound so you can't remap if from Electron apps
So you'll have to change it
I propose Alt+O because opencode recommended it
