Issue #146 (GitHub Commands & Shortcuts)02/05/25

According to Gallup, 51% of Americans can’t think of a news source that reports the news objectively. It’s 100% free. It has everything you need to be aware of for the day. And most importantly, it simplifies your life.

One useful way you may want to use these commands is to create shortcuts for one or more of them, especially if you use Git and GitHub regularly. If there's a particular command you continue to come back to via the command palette, you can quickly create a keybinding for that command (assuming one doesn't already exist).
Do this by hovering over the command in the suggestions list and clicking the little cog icon that appears on the right side next to the command.
This enables you to edit that command's keybinding, allowing you to execute that command in the future using that keyboard shortcut.
Many of the GitHub-related commands are under the category of "GitHub Issues", a few of which allow you to instantly copy specific URLs in the repository.
As shown in the above image, you can create shortcuts for the current file's GitHub head link, permalink, or permalink as Markdown.
Of course, you can create shortcuts for any command that's executable using the command palette, not just GitHub-related commands. This is just one way this feature can come in handy.

VS Code Theme of the Week
|
Poimandres — This is a simple dark theme with a nice color palette for syntax highlighting that doesn't have too many pinks and purples like many other dark themes. This one has more emphasis on pastel-ish greens and blues.
The extension includes a 'storm' version, which has a lighter background than the primary theme shown above. There's also a 'no italics' version, and a 'no italics storm' version. So the 4 themes are basically the same except for the background and the italics.
