Quick Tip: TickTick kills a VS Code shortcut

I recently started to use TickTick, a powerful app to track your personal tasks, reminders etc. I am using the Mac version which introduces a keyboard shortcut to quickly startg a pomodoro timer.

The problem is: the same shortcut is used to open the command menu in VS Code: SHIFT+CMD+P

VS Code stopped to react on this one and it took me a while to figure out the reason, so here is how to disable the shortcut in TickTick. Open the settings and find the Hotkeys section. Disable the shortcut displayed in the picture below and VS Code will act as usual.
