Customize Shortcuts

You can customize the keyboard shortcuts for the commands of this extension to streamline your workflow. Follow these steps to set your preferred shortcuts:

1. Open the Keyboard Shortcuts editor:

   • Press Ctrl+K Ctrl+S (Windows/Linux) or Cmd+K Cmd+S (Mac)
   • Alternatively, go to Code > Settings > Keyboard Shortcuts

2. In the Keyboard Shortcuts editor, search for the command you want to customize:

   • Aide: Copy As AI Prompt
   • Aide: Ask AI
   • Aide: Code Convert
   • Aide: Code Viewer Helper
   • Aide: Rename Variable
   • Aide: Smart Paste
   • ...and possibly more

3. Click the plus icon next to the command you want to assign a shortcut to.

4. Press the desired key combination for your new shortcut.

5. If there is a conflict with an existing shortcut, VSCode will notify you. You can choose to overwrite the existing shortcut or try another combination.

Here are the default commands you can customize:

• aide.copyAsPrompt: Copy as AI Prompt
• aide.askAI: Ask AI
• aide.codeConvert: Code Convert
• aide.codeViewerHelper: Code Viewer Helper
• aide.renameVariable: Rename Variable
• aide.smartPaste: Smart Paste
• ...and possibly more, you can find the corresponding commands in each feature documentation.

Example:

To set Ctrl+Shift+A (Windows/Linux) or Cmd+Shift+A (Mac) for the Ask AI command:

1. Search for Aide: Ask AI in the Keyboard Shortcuts editor
2. Click the plus icon next to the aide.askAI command
3. Press Ctrl+Shift+A or Cmd+Shift+A
4. The new shortcut will be saved automatically

Repeat this process for any other commands you wish to customize.

Note: If you prefer to edit the keybindings.json file directly, you can add the following entry:

{
  "key": "ctrl+shift+a",
  "command": "aide.askAI",
  "when": "editorTextFocus"
}

Replace "ctrl+shift+a" with your desired key combination and "aide.askAI" with the command you want to assign.

By customizing these shortcuts, you can quickly access the features of the extension and boost your productivity in VSCode.
