Ask HN: Favorite VSCode Shortcuts

2 pointsjasondigitized1 comment

What are your favorite shortcuts and tips and tricks within VSCode? I am looking to eek out further productivity gains and outside of typing faster it seems like I waste a lot of time using my mouse to move my cursor and shuttle around text. I'd like to improve my "knife skills" in VSCode. What are your productivity hacks?

- Multiple cursors (Alt-click)

- "Ctrl-F" multiple cursor expansion (Ctrl-F, then Alt+Enter)

- Cut/Paste with multiple cursors

- Emmet: evaluate math expression, increment, decrement (these work across multiple cursors)

- Binding Home/End/Pgup/Pgdn to Left/Right/Up/Down arrow keys as a second programmable keyboard layer
