<h2>ECLIPSE THEIA - KEYMAPS EXTENSION</h2>
<hr />
</div>
## Description
The `@theia/keymaps` allows the user to reconfigure default keybindings with custom keymaps.\
By modifying the appropriate `keymaps.json`, the user can modify existing keybindings, or add keybindings to commands that do not yet have a keybinding associated to them.
Example of a valid `keymaps.json` file
```json
[
{
"command": "quickCommand",
"keybinding": "ctrl+shift+f4"
}
]
```
where `command` is a unique command id and keybinding is a valid `keybinding`. There's also an optional `context` property that can be specified (which is also a unique string for a context id).
## Supported Keys
For most keys you can directly use the name of the key i.e `a`, `3`, `/`, `-`.
To use `ctrl` on Linux/Windows and `cmd` on OSX, use `ctrlcmd`.
You can use `shift`, `ctrl`, `alt`, `meta`, `option` (`alt`), `command` (`meta`), `cmd` (`meta`) as modifiers. Note that if you defined a custom shortcut with `cmd`, `command` or `meta`, the same keymaps file won't work on a Windows/Linux machine as this key doesn't have an equivalent.
You can also use the following strings for special keys: `backspace`, `tab`, `enter`, `return`, `capslock`, `esc`, `escape`, `space`, `pageup`, `pagedown`, `end`, `home`, `left`, `up`, `right`, `down`, `ins`, `del` and `plus`.
If unsure you can always look at the framework's [supported keys](https://eclipse-theia.github.io/theia/docs/next/modules/_theia_core.common_keys.Key.html)
## Key Sequences
Key sequences like: `ctrl+x ctrl+a` or `ctrl+a b c` are supported. With the following limitations:
- If the key sequence exceeds 1 key chord it won't show in the electron menu.
- If the key sequence exceeds 2 key chords it won't show in the command palette.
