I use VS Code for… code, heh. Because I present a lot and have tried to make the experience overall a bit more mouse-free, here’s the keybindings I particularly like to use:
-
Ctrl/Cmd + b: Toggle the file explorer -
Ctrl/Cmd + backtick: Open the terminal (I’m writing out the word backtick because markdown doesn’t like it when I use the actual backtick character, but you know what I mean) -
Ctrl/Cmd + l: Highlight current line -
Ctrl/Cmd + p: Quickly open a file when you type its name -
Ctrl/Cmd + p(then)>: Quickly run a command (like saving without formatting, changing a color scheme, running an extension, that sort of thing) -
Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + f: Search across workspace -
Ctrl/Cmd + i: Toggle inline Copilot chat -
Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + i: Toggle Copilot chat sidebar -
Alt + Up: Move line up -
Alt + Left: Move line down -
Ctrl/Cmd + /: Comment out current line/selection
There’s probably more, but these are the ones that came to mind first! You can also check out the docs for others.
