press Shift twice to activate Doubleshift. By default, it opens the command palette, but you can change to whatever you want

you can also add multiple other commands with different keys for whatever action you need to access frequently.

It works with every available command including commands from other plugins. So if you have a plugin like the better command palette plugin installed you can choose the command to open it in the Doubleshift settings tab.

This plugin can differentiate between Left Shift and Right Shift, Left Alt and Right Alt, etc. Bind the right side modifier to split vertically and the left side to split horizontally! (Thank you ericziko for this contribution!)
