API: Expose list of keybindings

[vanowm]

Unless I'm missing something, there is no way of getting list of currently registered keyboard shortcuts.

For extensions we have to parse package.json to get the default keybindings and then find and parse keybindings.json to get current. There is seems to be no way of getting list of all registered keyboard shortcuts.

Some use cases:

• extension UI
• if extension launches an application, remind user via message what keyboard shortcut they can use to stop it.

Also: This api reference is wrong: there is no more keybindings.json link in file menu !

@boltex, it's not in file menu, it's in keybinding shortcuts tab:

@vanowm Sorry, but This just gives the user's locally modified/additional keybindings. Not the whole list.

@vanowm Additionally, the help snippet I clipped above also precisely states that this (missing) link should give the list of all unbound commands, not just the user's additional custom keybindings.

You can use the command Open Default Keyboard Shortcuts (JSON) to get the list.

@tshino we are talking about API - aka programmatically access.
