I believe I'm not the only one who's been thinking about exploring their IDE's shortcuts and never really got down to this.
I decided it's time to change and that's why I'm composing a list of absolutely essential shortcuts that made my life so easier after I started using them:
Double Shift
Opens a window with a global search throughout the whole project.
Ctrl + Shift + F
Opens a window with a search in file contents.Ctrl + Shift + N
Opens a window with a search by file name.Ctrl + Shift + F and then Ctrl + Shift + R
Allow you to search for a keyword and then replace it with whatever you want.
Ctrl + E
Opens a window with a list of recently opened files.Ctrl + Shift + Space
Brings back a window with autocomplete suggestions.
Ctrl + Alt + J
Allows you to wrap a piece of your markup in a tag or whatever you want using emmet.
Ctrl + W
Selects a word and extends this selection further with each combination press.Ctrl + Shift + W
If it went too far with the previous shortcut, this one will help to shrink the selection back!Shift + F6
Select a file among your project's files and press this to rename it. (I also have to add Fn to this combination for it to work)
There are more to come!
