Default keybind interferes with accessing system menu #85

The default keybind of Alt-Space is normally used to open the System menu (Maximize/Minimize/Move/Size/Restore/Close). While there isn't much in that menu, and what little is there is used extremely infrequently, having keyboard-only access is important if for some reason the caption bar is not available (i.e. it got moved offscreen by an interrupted attempt to drag across multiple monitors). Most applications put it in the menu keyboard order, so that you can get to it by tapping Alt and then pressing Left Arrow, but Visual Studio doesn't. Alt-Space is the only way to access that menu from the keyboard, and this extension blocks that by default.

This is definitely a bug in Visual Studio's menu handling, but I don't see them changing that any time soon. The easiest workaround is to assign a different keyboard shortcut to this functionality, and though a lot of the direct ones are taken both the Ctrl-K chord and the Ctrl-\ chord have plenty of room.
