Multiple actions on one keyboard shortcut in vscode

Question

Is it possible to have multiple actions assigned to one keyboard shortcut in visual studio code?

For example: Move cursor up x 3 set to "ctrl + w"

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

It's possible with extensions like Commands

settings.json

"commands.commands": {     "down3": {         "sequence": [             "cursorDown",             "cursorDown",             "cursorDown",         ],     }, }, 

keybindings.json

{     "key": "ctrl+w",     "command": "down3", },

Or with just keybindings.json

{     "key": "ctrl+w",     "command": "commands.run",     "args": [         "cursorDown",         "cursorDown",         "cursorDown"     ] }, 

Feature request to support Macro like keybindings #871.

Although, for this particular example it's better to use the built-in command (to avoid any jumpiness):

{     "key": "ctrl+w",     "command": "cursorMove",     "args": {         "to": "down",         "by": "line",         "value": 3     } }

Answer 2

I use the macros extension (https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=geddski.macros):

in settings.json:

"macros": {     "showGit": ["workbench.view.scm", "git-graph.view"] } 

then in keybindings.json:

{     "key": "ctrl+shift+g",     "command": "showGit" }
