The navigation features look straightforward, but, at first glance, they don't seem very useful. So, for this part of the tutorial I suggest you on...

I move back and forth between Windows (at work) and Mac (at home) a lot. The thing that always melts my mind is VS Code shortcuts that are almost the same (e.g.
ctrl + b
vscmd + b
), and short-cuts that are completely different (e.g.ctrl + k, s
vsopt + cmd + s
). T_TAlso,
ctrl + shift + p
to open the command palette is a good one.I wonder why they chose to do this... On Windows, some of them are very similar to Visual Studio's shortcuts.
Opening the command palette is one of the shortcuts I always forget due to using
CTRL
+P
and just prefixing my search with>
.That is the sole reason I didn't recently replace my old work laptop with a Mac. I couldn't get over how nonsensical the apparently random switches between
cmd
andctrl
were.Great post, shortcuts are THE BOMB.
I consider myself a avid shortcut user and here are some more:
ctrl + r
: open recent projectctrl + q
: open views panel (release ctrl to select)ctrl + b
: toggle side panelctrl + shift + g
: open source controlctrl + shift + x
: open extensions panelctrl + shift + e
: open project explorerctrl + shift + f
: open search panelctrl + \
`: toggle terminalctrl + shift + \
`: open new terminalctrl + p
: go to filectrl + n
: start new filectrl + shift + n
: start new VS Code instancectrl + shift + c
: open external terminal on current project rootctrl + w
: close current filectrl + pageup/pagedown
: navigate to next/previus opened fileThere are a lot more shortcuts, but these are the ones I use the most.
These are great. Another one I use if using split view:
ctrl + [1, 2, 3...]
: Focus the [first, second, third...] open panel. Splits to create another panel if one doesn't exist.
