Different browsers have different shortcuts and some VZCode shortcuts trigger them

This stack overflow post shows how to override most browser shortcuts, and I think we should give it a try to see if it works. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3680919/overriding-browsers-keyboard-shortcuts

If this works, it would help prevent users from accidentally pressing random shortcuts and allow users to use some shortcuts that they wouldn't have had access to before.

Not a bad idea! Although, the browser shortcuts are nice and people might expect them.

Perhaps we can narrow the focus to specific shortcuts that VZCode has functionality for, which are conflicting with browser shortcuts? I would rather go one-by-one than shotgun the whole thing and risk making the UX worse by removing browser shortcuts that people expect to work.

Oh yeah, we should only override only the shortcuts that the program uses.

I was ensuring all keyboard shortcuts worked when I noticed the issue of conflicting shortcuts. Ex: On Microsoft Edge browser the shortcut for Ctrl + Shift + N opens a new incognito tab instead of the VZCode shortcut bringing up a new file.

I have a branch where I listed some shortcuts to fix. If I have time after the rcos poster, I'll look over this issue into more detail.
