Despite many shortcuts I'm using frequently in VS Code, the following ones can come in very handy but I'm often forgetting they even exist. I made ...

Cool article! 👍
If will be nice to add a MacOS shortcut as well.
Thank you! As I wrote at the top of the article:
That's not always correct. You can check out my post about shortcuts in Visual Studio Code

Nice article layout and many thanks for the feedback! I will see how I can include MacOS shortcuts as well!
You're welcome!
Tip: you can ask the community to help you 😊
Updated the article accordingly 😇
I stopped plugging in a mouse, touchpad etc several months ago on my dev machine (I do have a mousekeys AutoHotkey script). It definitely encouraged me to find those keyboard shortcuts. Not so good for web browsing tho. VSCode is probably going to wear out my F1 key! 😄⌨
Wow, not using a mouse at all is impressive! 😲👏🏻 Maybe I'll try that too sometimes!
I do also have a portable with touch screen and pen to do any graphics and cad stuff on. But just a keyboard front and centre on the dev desktop 😇
my mousekeys script is on the following gist if you ever want to try it out: gist.github.com/grahamdyson/3029ef...
Cool! Thank you for sharing!
Wow. I always wondered how to select a line using a keyboard. It's so simple and easy shortcut for which I had to point to the line and then select it using the cursor. This will save a lot of time. Also, that open in explorer shortcut is also a great one. Thanks for this!
I'm really glad it's useful for you! It was the same here before I knew that line selecting shortcut 😅
I prefer the use of HOME and END to go to start/end of line, coupled with SHIFT when I need to select. So HOME, followed by SHIFT-END is just the same as select line, and a lot easier to memorize, for me.
Select some characters, a var name or whatever. ctrl+D is my favourite, although not the quickest way, to select the next occurrence of what you currently have selected. Habits I guess.
Thanks , this will be great help. Curious to know which shortcuts do you use frequently in your work ?
You're welcome. Sure, I highlighted them for you:
Those are the shortcuts I use every day.
What about
Ctrl +` - Shows integrated terminal ? By the way thanks for the image. Appreciate 😄.Also a good one, but I don't need it since I have the integrated terminal always open in each of my workspaces 😇
Ctrl +` also selects the terminal, which is great for rapid fire git commits! Etc.Awesome, didn't know this 👏🏻
What software or tool did you use to display those keyboard shortcuts on your screen as you typed them?
I'm using ScreenToGif. It's a really useful open source tool to quickly create screencasts. The shortcuts can to be inserted in editing mode.
Thank you so much!!
You're welcome 😊
Great read, thank you for sharing! Now I just need to practice some of them to help remember them.
You're welcome! So do I 😅
After I read the article I immediately needed to use one of them and forgot the shortcut but remembered it's possible 😬
😂 Well, do this a couple more times and you won't forget anymore 😅
Thanks a lot
You're welcome ☺️
Actually, the fastest way to switch tabs without using the mouse is using
Alt + {n}where n is the tab index.Agreed! Thank you for this addition!
This is a collection of good and useful shortcuts for everybody. Though they are not lesser known. Using 95% of them all the time since switching to vscode
Thank you for your feedback! So you're a real VS Code pro user! Which command didn't you already know (the 5%)?
3)CTRL+R (such a good one, I somehow didn't know or think about it before)
19)CTRL+K CTRL+X
Well so I'm glad, that there were at least 2 shortcuts that were helpful for you too 😅
Learnt some new shortcuts. Thanks for sharing!
So cool! I'm happy it's useful for you!
Thanks. This will come in really handy
You're welcome, I'm glad it helps!

I was wondering: Do you (or anyone else) know of a VSCode extension that advices on shortcuts for actions you perform often?
Cool! 👏🏻 I'm glad it's useful for you!
I don't know an extension, but if you perform an action with the command prompt
CTRL+SHIFT+Pyou can directly see the defined shortcuts on the right:Thank you!
This is awesome
I'm glad you like it 😊
This was super helpful, thank you! I enjoyed your use of gifs to show the shortcuts in action 😃 bookmarking this for later.
Awesome 👍🏻 Happy to oblige!
How did you make those
GIF images?

💪🏻👌🏻
for the "go-to-line" you can also do ctrl+p and then :{line_number}
Which is why I wrote at the end of point 5:
👍🏻
Thanks a lot Andreas 👍
My pleasure 😊
