Loading custom key bindings for code-server

[indoben]

Referencing the instructions found here: link

I added the following lines to my startup script

    mkdir -p /home/coder/.local/share/code-server/User
    echo '[{"key": "ctrl+enter", "command": "workbench.action.terminal.runSelectedText"}]' > /home/coder/.local/share/code-server/User/keybindings.json

However, even after a full restart, the file appears where expected, but it is not being picked up by code-server. Is there a newer approach since this documentation was written?

Resolved this issue, the file location is actually here: /root/.local/share/code-server/User/keybindings.json.

Recommend that this be more clearly documented since the only reference I can find is this issue

Yeah all configuration will be located in the home directory of the user that launched code-server by default. That blog post would likely be better off using ~ instead of /home/coder. I believe our own documentation always references ~ but if you have ideas on where to improve the documentation then suggestions and PRs are welcome! Just as an aside, you probably already know this but launching as root could be risky, depending on how you have things set up.
