Integrate keyboard-quickfix with vscode-neovim

[David-Else]

It seems the quick-fix menu uses the standard context menu that has no ability to use anything other than the arrow keys to navigate up and down:

microsoft/vscode#88076

I think it is the same thing with the ctrl-shift-r refactor menu too? Anyone have any luck getting j/k or alt-j / alt-k working in these?

As far as i know - no. There was another feature request in vscode repo, but i can't seem to find it.
It's real pain on Win, since even <C-n>/<C-p> don't work here.

@asvetliakov There is a solution in the https://github.com/PascalSenn/keyboard-quickfix extension:

    // open quickfix
    {
        "key": "ctrl+.",
        "command": "keyboard-quickfix.openQuickFix",
        "when": "editorHasCodeActionsProvider && editorTextFocus && !editorReadonly"
    },
    {
        "key": "j",
        "command": "list.focusDown",
        "when": "listFocus && !inputFocus"
    },
    {
        "key": "k",
        "command": "list.focusUp",
        "when": "listFocus && !inputFocus"
    }

Thanks to @theol0403 for this info #457 (comment)

Could you use a modified version of this code to add the capability to vscode-neovim?

[asvetliakov]

Why duplicate functionality when you can just install that extension?

[David-Else]

@asvetliakov You have a very valid point, but here are a few counter-arguments to consider:

• Integrating the code removes another extension dependency that could become unmaintained or break functionality with other extensions. Every extension installed is a liability to long-term productivity.
• It adds a very important feature that the user will want out of the box, they don't want to install another extension for basic functionality
• The code could be streamlined and the generic extension boilerplate removed eradicating bloat from the universe
• The extra functionality of keyboard-quickfix is ONLY needed for VS Code Vim extensions, so why not have it built right in? You could also add the shortcuts as default, standardizing the use

I don't think VS Code is getting this functionality any time soon based on microsoft/vscode#55111 and similar requests I have read.

I don't know what the best thing to do is really, @theol0403 what do you think?

Remember to set it as you like, as it fits you, for me alt+f/e/s/d for arrow keys, but vim user can simulate vim shortcuts.

Sorry for the very late reply. I do agree with all your points. I don't have the typescript knowledge to merge the plugins together, but I think if vscode-neovim provides this functionality it would be nice. That way, z= and ctrl-. can be configured to open the keyboard quicklist by default.
