Define Keybinding to insert special character in VSCode

Question

I would like to define a keybinding to insert a specific unicode character in VSCode. What is the right way to achieve this ?

Answer 1

VSCode has a type command to handle exactly this kind of use case:

In keybindings.json:

{
    "key": "ctrl+alt+1 s",
    "command": "type",
    "args": {
        "text": "Ψ"
    }
}
