Enable keyboard shortcut for escaping Monaco suggestions widget only when it is visible

Question

I've added a shortcut to escape the Monaco suggestions widget with the space bar, which caused the space bar not to work anymore as a space bar. I'm thinking that ideally, I would just have to add a conditional that would enable the shortcut only when the Monaco suggestions widget is visible, is it something that is feasible?

Here is my code, so far:

const hideSuggestions = editor.createContextKey('hideSuggestions', true)

editor.addCommand(
  monaco.KeyCode.Space, function () {editor.trigger('', 'hideSuggestWidget', null) }, 'hideSuggestions' )

I'm only missing some way of changing hideSuggestions from true to false whether the Monaco suggestions widget is triggered or not.

Instead of addCommand use the more advanced addAction method, which allows to specify preconditions:

        const blockContext = "editorTextFocus && !suggestWidgetVisible && !renameInputVisible && !inSnippetMode " +
            "&& !quickFixWidgetVisible";

            editor.addAction({
                id: "executeCurrent",
                label: "Execute Block",
                keybindings: [KeyMod.Shift | KeyCode.Enter],
                contextMenuGroupId: "2_execution",
                precondition: blockContext,
                run: () => { return this.executeCurrentContext(false, false); },
            });

I use this for running an action when the user presses shift+enter.
