VSCode extension: hotkeys for navigation
Open 💬 7 comments Opened Jun 23, 2025 by jeffomatic
This is a feature request. I'd like the ability to use keyboard shortcuts for the following:
- switching from the main text editor group to the Claude Code extension terminal.
cmd+escdoesn't work, because it will re-launch a new session. - minimizing the Claude Code terminal/group and switching back to the main text editor group.
I can sort of simulate this with the following:
- go to Claude Code if open:
cmd+2 - go to main text editor group:
cmd+1 - "hide" Claude Code without closing: switch to main text editor group, then maximize via
cmd+k cmd+m
But it would be nice to toggle Claude Code on and off without terminating the session.
Here's a strawman:
cmd-escopens a new Claude Code editor group if there is none already, or opens and focuses a pre-existing Claude Code editor groupcmd-escin the Claude Code editor group minimizes the group and switches back to the main text editing group- For partial backward compatibility, the pre-existing
cmd-escaction is bound tocmd-shift-esc
Thanks!
