I want to make a keybinding:

1. When the sidebar is visible, the bottom panel is not visible, press to hide the sidebar, press again to show both.
2. When the sidebar is not visible, the bottom panel is visible, press to hide the bottom panel, press again to show both.
3. When the sidebar is visible, the bottom panel is visible, press to hide both, press again to show both.
4. When the sidebar is not visible, the bottom panel is not visible, press to show both, press again to hide both.

With tools I know the command

Toggle Panel Toggle Side Bar Visibility

How to do this in Vscode?

CodePudding user response：

This can be done, but only with the help of a macro extension like multi-command or by writing your own extension. Since you need to run 2 commands at a time in some cases - like closing or opening both views at the same time.

In your keybindings.json:

{
  "key": "alt 1",                 // whatever keybinding you like
  "command": "extension.multiCommand.execute",
  "args": {
    "sequence": [
      "workbench.action.togglePanel",
      "workbench.action.toggleSidebarVisibility",
    ]
  },
  "when": "panelVisible && sideBarVisible || !panelVisible && !sideBarVisible"
},

{
  "key": "alt 1",           // use same keybinding here
  "command": "extension.multiCommand.execute",
  "args": {
    "sequence": [
      "workbench.action.togglePanel"
    ]
  },
  "when": "panelVisible && !sideBarVisible"
},

{
  "key": "alt 1",           // use same keybinding here
  "command": "extension.multiCommand.execute",
  "args": {
    "sequence": [
      "workbench.action.toggleSidebarVisibility"
    ]
  },
  "when": "!panelVisible && sideBarVisible"
}

There are also these commands

workbench.action.closePanel
workbench.action.closeSidebar

but I don't see them helping in your case.
