Consider adding keyboard shortcut in VS Code extension to run shiny app

[parmsam]

Thanks for the VS Code extension. It would be nice if there was a default keyboard shortcut to shiny.python.runApp. The shortcut could be the same as the render or preview Quarto extension shortcut ( Ctrl+Shift+K or Ctrl+Shift+L). Edit: I realized after posting that this issue should belong in the vscode extension repo which doesn't appear to be public at this time. Please close this issue if it is already being addressed.

This is a great idea, here's how you can do this yourself. Use the command palette to open "Preferences: Open keyboard shortcuts (JSON)". Then add the following JSON snippet to map the "shiny.python.runApp" command to Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + K:

  {
    "key": "cmd+shift+k",
    "command": "shiny.python.runApp",
    "when": "shiny.python.active"
  },

Edit: and after the next version of the extension is released you can do the same for Shiny for R apps:

  {
    "key": "cmd+shift+k",
    "command": "shiny.r.runApp",
    "when": "shiny.r.active"
  },

If we like Cmd + Shift + K, we could add it to the extension. There's some precedent in RStudio for Cmd + Shift + S, but in VS Code this action feels well-aligned with "Quarto preview" and the shortcut it'd be overriding is likely less popular ("Save file as" (S) vs "Delete line" (K)).
