Cool article! 👍
If will be nice to add a MacOS shortcut as well.
Thank you! As I wrote at the top of the article:
That's not always correct. You can check out my post about shortcuts in Visual Studio Code

Nice article layout and many thanks for the feedback! I will see how I can include MacOS shortcuts as well!
You're welcome!
Tip: you can ask the community to help you 😊
Updated the article accordingly 😇
Whoa! Well done! 👍👊
Thank you for the inspiration! 👍🏻
You're welcome! 👍
Can I just say, it's nice to see people in comments helping each other out? I guess you just see criticism so often, it's nice to see folks working together to make something great. Makes for an awesome community. Thanks guys!
Welcome to the club! Glad you've joined! 👍
I stopped plugging in a mouse, touchpad etc several months ago on my dev machine (I do have a mousekeys AutoHotkey script). It definitely encouraged me to find those keyboard shortcuts. Not so good for web browsing tho. VSCode is probably going to wear out my F1 key! 😄⌨
Wow, not using a mouse at all is impressive! 😲👏🏻 Maybe I'll try that too sometimes!
I do also have a portable with touch screen and pen to do any graphics and cad stuff on. But just a keyboard front and centre on the dev desktop 😇
my mousekeys script is on the following gist if you ever want to try it out: gist.github.com/grahamdyson/3029ef...
Cool! Thank you for sharing!
Wow. I always wondered how to select a line using a keyboard. It's so simple and easy shortcut for which I had to point to the line and then select it using the cursor. This will save a lot of time. Also, that open in explorer shortcut is also a great one. Thanks for this!
I'm really glad it's useful for you! It was the same here before I knew that line selecting shortcut 😅
I prefer the use of HOME and END to go to start/end of line, coupled with SHIFT when I need to select. So HOME, followed by SHIFT-END is just the same as select line, and a lot easier to memorize, for me.
Select some characters, a var name or whatever. ctrl+D is my favourite, although not the quickest way, to select the next occurrence of what you currently have selected. Habits I guess.
What software or tool did you use to display those keyboard shortcuts on your screen as you typed them?
I'm using ScreenToGif. It's a really useful open source tool to quickly create screencasts. The shortcuts can to be inserted in editing mode.
Thank you so much!!
You're welcome 😊
Thanks , this will be great help. Curious to know which shortcuts do you use frequently in your work ?
You're welcome. Sure, I highlighted them for you:
Those are the shortcuts I use every day.
What about
Ctrl +` - Shows integrated terminal ? By the way thanks for the image. Appreciate 😄.Also a good one, but I don't need it since I have the integrated terminal always open in each of my workspaces 😇
Ctrl +` also selects the terminal, which is great for rapid fire git commits! Etc.Awesome, didn't know this 👏🏻
Actually, the fastest way to switch tabs without using the mouse is using
Alt + {n}where n is the tab index.Agreed! Thank you for this addition!
Zenmode 🙌💪🏻👌🏻
Great read, thank you for sharing! Now I just need to practice some of them to help remember them.
You're welcome! So do I 😅
After I read the article I immediately needed to use one of them and forgot the shortcut but remembered it's possible 😬
😂 Well, do this a couple more times and you won't forget anymore 😅
Thanks a lot
You're welcome ☺️
This is a collection of good and useful shortcuts for everybody. Though they are not lesser known. Using 95% of them all the time since switching to vscode
Thank you for your feedback! So you're a real VS Code pro user! Which command didn't you already know (the 5%)?
3)CTRL+R (such a good one, I somehow didn't know or think about it before)
19)CTRL+K CTRL+X
Well so I'm glad, that there were at least 2 shortcuts that were helpful for you too 😅
Learnt some new shortcuts. Thanks for sharing!
So cool! I'm happy it's useful for you!

Thank you. You inspired me: dwim.nl/2020-01-16-VSCode%20shortc...
I was wondering: Do you (or anyone else) know of a VSCode extension that advices on shortcuts for actions you perform often?
Cool! 👏🏻 I'm glad it's useful for you!
I don't know an extension, but if you perform an action with the command prompt
CTRL+SHIFT+Pyou can directly see the defined shortcuts on the right:Thanks. This will come in really handy
You're welcome, I'm glad it helps!
How did you make those
GIF images?
See this answer:

for the "go-to-line" you can also do ctrl+p and then :{line_number}
Which is why I wrote at the end of point 5:
👍🏻
Thanks a lot Andreas 👍
My pleasure 😊
