August 14, 2021 - For me, on Win10 in Chrome 92, the shortcut key . (period / full-stop ) ... I think it might be a staggered rollout so it might not be activated for every account. YMMV ... mm I got another way to do it. Just go to your public repo and then change github.com to github.dev thats all ( in Link )

Using GitHub Codespaces in Visual Studio Code - GitHub Docs
By default, if you create a new codespace on GitHub, it will open in the browser. If you would prefer to open any new codespaces in VS Code automatically, you can set your default editor to be VS Code.

There is a very cool feature to do that. When we find suitable code for our projects we can investigate the GitHub repository using vs code interface,
- It is the exact VS Code interface and that features.
- It is open with the browser tab.
- No need to clone or download that repository.
For this you need just go to a repo and press the '.' (full-stop) button. Now that repo open with vs code interface in a browser tab.
