How to check if the text in an editor has focus when developing an extension?
Same to editorTextFocus, but I want to check this condition when developing an extension, what's the API for that?
I've tried the following:
if (window.activeTextEditor) {
// ...
}
But the result is not the same as using editorTextFocus.

vscode use tab and shift tab for up and down in dropdown menu/quick open menus
When in drop down menus or quick open menus, by using keybindings like ctrl+p or ctrl+shift+p, how would I make it so tab and shift+tab go up/down the list?

How can I make easier-to-reach shortcuts for arrow keys in VS Code?
Alternate of arrow keys in VS Code? especially the right arrow key to move outside the double quotes without moving hand towards arrow keys.
