Shortcuts and settings in VS Code
KODEO for VS Code's keyboard shortcuts (switch project, chat, Assist, comment, people, Source Control, go to file, search, undo, follow) and every setting it reads.
Shortcuts
KODEO's keys work in KODEO windows (and, for switching projects, chat and Assist, whenever you're signed in) — everywhere else VS Code keeps its own keys. On a Mac, Ctrl is ⌘ and Alt is ⌥.
| Keys | What it does |
|---|---|
| Alt+K | Switch project — recent first, then every project you can reach |
| Alt+J | The room's chat |
| Alt+A | Ask Assist |
| Alt+C | Comment on the current line (not while Find is open — there Alt+C is "Match Case") |
| Ctrl+Shift+J | Show the people in the room |
| Alt+G | Source Control |
| Ctrl+P | KODEO's Go to File, with who has each file open (in a kodeo:// window) |
| Ctrl+Shift+F | KODEO's project search (in a kodeo:// window) |
| Ctrl+Z / Ctrl+Shift+Z | Undo / redo your own edits in a live file — never a teammate's |
| Esc | Stop following someone |
| Ctrl+Enter | Commit (in Source Control's message box) |
| Alt+/ | Every KODEO shortcut in one list — pick one to run it |
To change a key, choose KODEO: Keyboard Shortcuts → Change these keys… (VS Code's Keyboard Shortcuts, filtered to KODEO).
Settings
Open Settings (Ctrl+,) and search KODEO.
| Setting | What it does |
|---|---|
| KODEO: Server | The KODEO site to use (default kodeo.website). Not synced between computers. |
| KODEO › Notifications: Pop-ups | Which notifications pop up in VS Code: important (default — types with Push on, plus mentions, replies, summons, reviews, support replies and anything sent to this computer), all or off. |
| KODEO › Presence: Show Names | Teammates' names next to their cursors (initials once they're still). Hover a cursor for more. |
| KODEO › Presence: Explorer Badges | Teammates' initials on the files they have open — explorer, tabs, Go to File. |
| KODEO: Room Messages | Pop up teammates' comments, replies, chat messages and someone starting to follow you. |
| KODEO › Git: Inline Blame | Who last changed the line your cursor is on, at the end of the line. |
| KODEO › Linked Folder: Sync On Save | In a linked folder, send saved files to KODEO right away. |
| KODEO: Open Links In | Where Open in VS Code links open a project: your linked folder, straight from KODEO, or ask. Per computer. |
| KODEO › Accessibility: Announce | Say who joins or leaves the room, and when it goes offline or comes back: auto (with VS Code's screen-reader mode), always or never. |
| KODEO › Telemetry: Share Performance Numbers | Send a few anonymous speed numbers to help make KODEO faster. Off by default, and never while VS Code's own telemetry is off. |
Where KODEO's own "Open in VS Code" links go (VS Code, Cursor, the browser…) is set in KODEO, under Settings → Local access → Open code links in. Which notification types you get at all is set in Settings → Notifications.
