VS Code Shortcuts

When I first started learning code, I watched in awe as developers would seamlessly move around their code with out all the clicking that someone like I would do. What is weird to me is that while learning code in university and on Codeacademy, I was never taught shortcuts. They honestly make your experience while learning to code so much better so I would like to share what I have learned so far and will continue to edit this post as I learn more. Don't be shy to post in the comments some more shortcuts that you like to use because I am open to all I can get. And whoever sees this post would probably appreciate it as well.

Shortcuts I know of in VS Code:

  • to comment use: ctrl + /

  • to toggle your files tab use: ctrl + B

  • to click multiple lines use: alt + click

  • to kill a terminal use: ctrl + c

  • to easily move to either side of words use: ctrl + arrow keys

  • to close tabs in an unordered fashion use: ctrl + w
