Support for OS-specific keybindings

[loganmzz]

• VSCode Version: 1.17.2
• OS Version: Ubuntu 17.10 / Windows 10

VS Code has already conditionnal keyboards rules through when clause. It will be very nice to also support OS-based condition. Some keybindings can be shared between Windows & Linux for example but some can't.

For exemple to access terminal from Windows, I use "ctrl+`" binding while on linux I use "ctrl+[Quote]" binding.

Reproduces without extensions: Yes

@loganmzz I think current keybindings are already OS specific. I do not understand what more you are looking for?

Why can't you change the default keybinding and use it across using https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=Shan.code-settings-sync extension

[loganmzz]

"`" and "[quote]" are respectively specific to linux and windows ?

[sandy081]

Do you mean you want the ability to customise key bindings per OS?

[loganmzz]

Yes exactly. However, if "`" and "[quote]" are specific (don't exist on others) to each OS, it's enough for my needs.

Currently I store them separately to be sure there's no conflict but need to manually merge common settings.
