suppressShowKeyBindingsNotice gets saved even when it is not required

[gandalfsaxe]

I always get this added to user settings.json:

  "gitlens.advanced.messages": {
    "suppressShowKeyBindingsNotice": true
  }

Shouldn't this just be a default setting if it insists on adding itself just upon opening VSCode with GitLens enabled, without any user interaction?

That is a message that only shows up if you are using the alt-based keymap ("gitlens.keymap": "alternate"). And there was a bug that suppresses the message even though you've never seen it.

Isn't the alt keymap the default?

I still don't understand why a bug is fixed with a force-fed user setting, cluttering up the user settings file for no apparent reason :)

[eamodio]

It is not the default (though it used to be -- it used to be the only until all the conflicts with different keyboard layouts and languages). You now only need that setting if you are using the alternate keymap, because without it, it will prompt you to ask if you'd like to switch to another keymap (this was added because I received LOTS of issues and needed to forcibly get everyone to use another keymap UNLESS they were happy with how alternate was working for them.

I see, I must've inadvertently activated alt alternate keymap then, I thought I used the default. Thanks.
