Describe the feature request

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
related to #1251 Rather then turning the magic key off, I would like to use // instead.

Why do you need this feature?
I appreciate getting the command palette via the magic key but it is unusable for me because it keeps popping up while writing ordinary text including /

Describe the solution you'd like

The solution you'd like

You can press esc to exit the popup; if you type \ very often, maybe better just disable it.

I use / all the time and pressing escape interrupts my writing every time, so I had to turn it off. But it’s a pitty because I would like to use the feature, hence my suggestion to change the trigger to // instead of /.

[windingwind]

You can now use cmd/ctrl + / to open the magic palette.

Unfortunately, this doesn't work on my (nordic) keyboard layout, where / already requires a modifier key (shift + 7).

I still think that // would be a better trigger.

(BTW: the UI in the preferences doesn't state that disabling 'Use magic key "/" to show command palette' will enable Cmd + / (or keep it enabled).

Does the combination cmd-shift-7 work for you?

[papatistos]

No, cmd-shift-7 doesn’t work.

If that's the case, unfortunately I would say either use a / or disable it completely. Using double // doesn't make much difference for me (input v.s. shortcut - single or double / are both input)

Using double // doesn't make much difference for me (input v.s. shortcut - single or double / are both input)

I don't understand this. What is the problem with both being input?

Just to clarify: the reason I'm asking for an option to set the trigger to // instead of / is that / is a very common character that people use when writing normal text, so it is not a good idea to trigger the command pallette every time you type /. If the command pallette would require //, it should not be a problem.

You can now use cmd/ctrl + / to open the magic palette.

ctrl+/ triggers both the magic palette (from BN) and the GPT palette (from the GPT plugin) in the tab or separate window (excluding the BN window).

Do we have any other alternative shortcut?
