Why should you care about mouseless experience when VSCode is a GUI editor tuned to a great mouse experience? The answer is s...

I got used to navigating methods with shift+cmd+.
It opens all the methods within classes in file and let's you search. Most valuable thing for me honestly.
This is nice too, thanks for sharing!
I have my previous and forward set up the same way as in the browser which is super convenient and I could not do without it.
Isn't ctrl tab easier?
Or they are different stuff
The actions
navigateBack
andnavigateForward
are not about navigating between tabs, but within the code. I.e, if you open a file/function by Ctrl+clicking on it, you can "navigate back" :)Oh, I see!
Its kinda of a cursor position history...
Very useful!
In my first ever dev post I posted my tips on getting around vscode without the mouse.
My favorites that were a bit hard to find at the time were getting in and out of the embedded terminal, and cycleing through terminal tabs and code tabs with the same hotkey.
I use these several times per minute all day. I'm constantly going to the terminal and back to the code.
These were all custom maps. Let me know what you think.

Coding in Golang and clicking "go to definition" a lot, for me the best shortcut is simply the "navigate back": stackoverflow.com/questions/354243...
Good tips! Thanks for sharing.
Do you know you can just hit the space bar to open your file instead of use
CMD+Down_Arrow.
?Hi. I just look for how to create new file and new folder without mouse and without go to terminal. When we do ctrl+shift+N in Windows, we are ready to change the cursor file name in the new folder and press enter to create the folder. I want to create a file or folder in the same way. But there is no such thing in VSC for some reason. Don't you think this is a useful and important thing?
A video demonstrating this would be awesome. Thanks.
+1 for the CMD+SHIFT+O shortcut, I was using the outline in sidebar so find this really useful 🎉
Nice article -- this is also a good thing for people who have RSI flare ups when using a mouse.

Thanks for the tips getting in the activity bar and out, as well as getting to the file explorer. I did not know of those and usually use a clunky control pallets command to get there.
Great piece of advise
Looking for ratpoison. Someone please write this VSCode ext.
Nice article. In my case, I think the
CMD+SHIFT+E
andCMD+SHIFT+O
shortcuts are so handy.
