VSCode via Posit Workbench compatible with Positron settings?

[davidjanmassgov]

Hi,

We're testing Posit Workbench. I'm trying to transfer my keyboard shortcuts from Positron to VS Code via Workbench. Is it as easy as replacing the keybindings.json? I'm noticing that some of my shortcuts aren't working in Workbench after replacing the keybindings.json.

For example, these shortcuts aren't working in Workbench.

{
    "key": "ctrl+shift+v",
    "command": "positronVariables.focus",
    "when": "workbench.panel.positronVariables.active"
},

   {
    "key": "ctrl+b",
    "command": "workbench.action.positronConsole.open"
}

Any advice? Thanks.

Positron to VS Code via Workbench

So you're saying that the shortcuts above don't work in VS Code, yes? If so, that is to be expected, because both of the shortcuts above have Positron-specific bits in either the command or the when or both.

If you actually mean to report that these shortcuts aren't working in Positron Pro on Workbench, that's different and does sound like a bug.

Thanks. I didn’t realize Positron Pro was an option. I’m going to ask my Workbench Administrator to add it as an option.
