Contribute to VSCode directly?

[supervanya]

Making this as a plugin seems very cumbersome, what do you think about making this available as core of the vscode?

I started poking around the vscode codebase, wondering if you want to help out https://github.com/supervanya/vscode-key-tutor

I think, hardly any code can be reused for vscode itself, we use workarounds for API limitations and such. Right now, I don't want to contribute, not sure about others. Maybe later.

I have already researched this topic, and there was already a similar attempt at implementation and it was removed by reasons: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/78091

From https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/78091#issuecomment-521640092:

we are open to accept features like the "keybindings teacher"

So upstream is interested, or at least not explicitly hostile to this.

Yeah that is what got me interested. But the codebase is massive and I couldn't figure out how to hook into the right events to see their source (like I want only pointer events)
