how to make language specific keybinding in vscode

Question

I want to make a keybinding in vscode, but want it to only work in markdown. I think I should use when clause, but not sure how to set the parameter for this clause.

Answer 1

Yes, you need to use the editorLangId parameter in the when condition key.
You should do something like this:

{
"key": "key1+key2+key3",
"command": "some.editor.action",
"when": "editorLangId == 'markdown' && withThisCondition || otherwiseSomethingElse"
}
