visual studio code keybindings - Running two or more commands with one shortcut

Question

I have the following keybinding in VS code which toggles the position of the cursor between the active document and built-in terminal:

  // Toggle between termin         


        

Answer 1

You would need a macro extension to run multiple commands from one keybinding.

I now use multi-command and there are other macro extensions now.

You can use this keybinding (in your keybindings.json) with the multi-command extension - no need for anything in settings.json:

{
  "key": "oem_8",                            // or whatever keybinding you wish
  "command": "extension.multiCommand.execute",
  "args": {
    "sequence": [
      "workbench.action.files.save",
      "workbench.action.terminal.focus"
    ]
  },
  "when": "editorTextFocus"  // if you want this, you probably do
}

If you have more complicated macros you can still build them in your settings.json if you wish.
