VS Code Shortcuts
There are lots of shortcuts in VS Code.
These are some I should use more than I do.
Ctrl + D press after selecting something and this will select the next instance along with another cursor. Can be pressed repeatedly.
Ctrl + Shft + L selects all instances of the current selection. This is the same as Ctrl + F followed by Alt + Enter.
Ctrl + L selects the whole line
Ctrl + Shft + K to delete a line
Ctrl + , to access the settings
Ctrl + T find by symbol. Search your project for CSS class or ID name or a JavaScript function name or variable.
f5 debugs the file
Ctrl + Shft + [ will fold the code block
Ctrl + Shft + ] will unfold the code block
More shortcuts: Ctrl + K, Ctrl + S
Ctr + Shft + F - open the search sidebar to Find/search in all project files.
Conflicting system wide shortcuts
Sometimes a system wide shortcut will override those in VS Code. For example for me I couldn’t use the Ctrl + Shft + L shortcut because it started performance logging for my AMD graphics card software. Often you can go to the offending app and turn off or change the keybinding. However in this case it wasn’t possible and could only be done by going into the Windows registry editor and changing it there.
KEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\AMD\DVR
Set ToggleRsPerfRecordingHotkey to none.
