β Back to All Filesπ― Use case
This file lives under βkeybindings/β, which covers keyboard shortcuts and binding tables. On the API surface it exposes KeybindingWarningType, KeybindingWarning, checkDuplicateKeysInJson, validateUserConfig, and checkDuplicates (and more) β mainly functions, hooks, or classes. It composes internal code from utils, parser, reservedShortcuts, and types (relative imports).
Generated from folder role, exports, dependency roots, and inline comments β not hand-reviewed for every path.
