Examples

We can use this command to create common keybindings for multiple build systems.

Build keybind for "Windows Terminal"

We can add a sendInput action.¹ Press ctrl+shift+p search for open settings json and add the following:

{ "command": {"action": "sendInput", "input": "buildany build\r"}, "keys": "ctrl+shift+b" }

Build keybind for "fish shell"

Declare a new bind² in config.fish, open $HOME/.config/fish/config and add the following line to bind ctrl+b for build bind \cb 'buildany build' .
