Honestly I’m struggling with VSCode at the moment. I use PHPStorm for work and I started using VSCode for personal and it’s definitely something to get used to! 🤦🏼‍♀️

Same energy. I feel like if I could easily navigate, via kb, between split tabs (and ideally move them w/ a kb shortcut, I would feel a lot better about it. Also if VSCode took notes from PHPStorm's search... that'd be rad.

There’s tonnes of shortcuts and a lot of your browser shortcuts are the same in VS Code. For example closing and reopening tabs. You can do split panes, Zen mode, and a bunch of other things.

Ahhh, did some more looking and came close with these hook ups.
cmd + ctrl + 1 or 9 = move editor to another group for View: Move Editor into First Group
cmd + alt + left/right = swap editor groups for View: Navigate to the View on the Left/Right
cmd + \ = split for View Split Editor

All but left right was default. I had to remove the default binding for the left right, but I feel it works better this way.
