I use my keyboard nearly 100% of the time. Over several years I've made custom keyboard shortcuts using mnemonics to make them easy to remember. Find references: alt-r, go to definition: alt-d. All "tab" related actions start with ctrl-t. All "view" related actions use alt-v. Most of them can be executed with one hand.

This allows me to be extremely fast once I know what I'm trying to do.

Reply if you'd be interested in me sharing the whole list.

Note: I'm using vscode

Ryan, thank you for offer to help and willing to share your shortcut list. I'm looking for native VS Code shortcut.

I forget to add "VS Code" in the title.

Btw, Thanks again.

You only want to use the default shortcuts? IMHO you're gonna have a hard time with that. I think they're far from optimized for 100% keyboard use.

Yes, Ryan. The list I share in the article is all native VS Code keyboard shortcut. My title and some content might be misleading. I just realised after reading the comment. I want to thank and apology to you for the misleading.

I encourage you to write an article about the shortcut list you made. Or you already write on some platform? Please share with me if you do.
