Summary

Rebind the VS Code cmd+l sidebar shortcut from the Claude Code extension to the built-in provider-agnostic chat command.

Change

  • home/Library/Application Support/Code/User/keybindings.json: cmd+l now runs workbench.action.chat.open instead of claude-vscode.sidebar.open. This opens the chat view for whichever provider is active (Copilot when Copilot is the default) and is the current, non-deprecated command. The older workbench.action.openChat.copilot id is deprecated.

Alternative

  • If you want to force the Copilot view specifically even when another chat provider is default, the id is workbench.panel.chat.view.copilot.focus. Say the word and I'll switch it.

Verification

  • keybindings.json is valid JSON (jq empty).

Fixes DOT-49

Rebind cmd+l from the Claude Code extension sidebar
(claude-vscode.sidebar.open) to the built-in workbench.action.chat.open,
which opens the chat view regardless of provider and focuses the GitHub
Copilot chat when Copilot is the active provider. The older provider
specific ids (workbench.action.openChat.copilot) are deprecated.

Fixes DOT-49
