AMAZING
This was so helpful, I tried doing this on my own but was having issues with the sidebar.
Much love!
Thank ... You... So... F... Much!!!
Absolutely Amazing keybindings, much love and appreciation ππ½
Glad you found this useful @hvenry @ravicorreia π
@nikolovlazar thanks a lot. This is what I need - good from both worlds - VimVS.
If you have a problem with space+e try this:
"key": "space e",
"when": "vim.mode == 'Normal' && editorTextFocus && foldersViewVisible",
"command": "workbench.action.toggleSidebarVisibility"
},
{
"key": "space e",
"when": "vim.mode == 'Normal' && sideBarVisible",
"command": "workbench.action.toggleSidebarVisibility"
}
