🚀 QuickFire

Execute VS Code commands and nested workflows instantly with a single keystroke—no Enter required.

QuickFire allows you to create a customized menu of actions that you can trigger instantly. Unlike the default QuickPick, QuickFire executes the command as soon as you press the assigned key—no Enter required.

✨ Features

• 🚀 Single Keystroke Execution: Press a key, and the command fires immediately.
• 📂 Nested Menus: Organize your complex workflows into logical sub-menus.
• ⚙️ Argument Support: Pass strings, objects, or even vscode:// URIs directly to commands.
• 🔙 Rapid Navigation: Use Backspace to quickly navigate back up through nested menus.
• ⌨️ Keyboard Centric: Designed for power users who want to keep their hands on the home row.

🚀 Getting Started
