Top on my wish list is a solution for the Ctrl/Cmd + W key binding conflict with the browser tabbing system. Definitely a hard design problem when you put browser technology inside browser technology >_<

If you're in an environment where you're able to use Chrome, you can go to the kebab menu and select "Install Visual Studio Code", which will install and open the workspace as a "Progressive Web App". It will have its own dock/menu bar icon, you can ctrl/cmd-tab to it, and all keyboard shortcuts work natively.

Unfortunately, at least on Mac OS, you can't exit Chrome entirely or the PWA will exit too.

vscode.dev appears to default to Ctrl+F4... which is a solution for almost no one. I can't remember the last time I had a keyboard with fn-keys that weren't remapped to a bunch of other useful stuff.

That's a default for Windows along with Alt+F4.
