Keyboard shortcuts for specific code actions

Some feedback from trying out useCustomCodeActionMenu: it's no longer possible to select a list item using the keyboard. For example, with the old version I was able to select "Unwrap function call" simply by typing u:

At the moment, even the old context menu used to show the code action menu didn't support keybindings like this. Seems like this was something that was specific to the native macOS menu, but can also be implemented now in vs code with the custom keybindings

If it will be implemented in the same way as workbench list tree works now, please ensure that typing second key won't reset the sequence. For example typing s and then u shouldn't select Unwrap function call, but Surround With.... Because I've seen in some other places such as menu selecting output channel on Windows it listens for first typed character only.

But I think it'd be ideal to use some kind of old widget from explorer area to highlight/filter actions gracefully.

I'd like to see this implemented as a filter where typing "widj" below would leave you with "Extract Widget" and "Wrap with widget...". This would make it easy to arrow to the desired item when there is more than one matching the filter.

Will this be fixed? My right-hand cries when I have to do a "quick" fix... So much for it being quick

A solution that allows us to fuzzy search to filter and then CMD+<number> would be nice. The shortcut for the first 1-0 can be shown like the screenshot of the OP comment

Similar applies to the omnibar that can be accessed by CMD+(shift)P. Tab doesn't move the selector down, which forces the user to use mouse or arrow keys.

Revisiting this - may play around with something like this :

First iteration of this feature is now insiders-released. Continuing to fix and optimize as mentioned in #190447
