New action editor shortcut overrides a basic VS Code key binding

[ihouwat]

User experience issue
The latest update adds a key binding of Ctrl+Shift+t to access Thunder Client in the action bar. Unfortunately, this overrides a pretty basic VS Code shortcut to reopen a previously closed editor - which incidentally is the same shortcut implemented in Chrome, Edge, Firefox browsers as well.

Solution I'd like
The shortcut for action bar is a great idea, but can we have a shortcut that doesn't clash with such a basic and simple native one. Sure, I can override, but I don't want to have to do it.

Alternative?
Maybe ctrl+k ctrl+shift+t, since it doesn't clash with workbench, but I don't know how that impacts other extensions.

I see it in 3 places in the keybindings, one for refactoring and a couple for searching/navigating.

For some reason, I can't paste a screenshot... But you can find it if you search for "Open Default Keyboard Shortcuts (JSON)" in the Command Palette inside of VS Code.

To be fair, there'll be a shortcut for almost anything! 🤷 Is it too much to do two keypress actions?

Yeah two key press action is complicated, most people will ignore.

and also the other windows in sidebar start with ct+sh+someKey shortcut keys, so it's better to follow same pattern

Got it. I guess, I'd be thrilled with the new one you suggested, but someone else might complain 😂

This bug is now fixed in v1.11.1, Just now published new quick release.

The new shortcut is ctrl+shift+R

please let me know if any feedback

[ihouwat]

Thanks for the quick response!

Hi. The new shortcut ctrl+shift+R overrides the refactor shortcut (or the yellow bulb things), which impacts my workflow.

Is there any way to change the keybinds to something else? Thx!

Hi @iqfareez, open keyboard shortcuts from command pallete and you can modify the keys

@rangav, problem solved. Thanks!!
