10 Essential Keyboard Shortcuts For Programmers

Показать описание

As a programmer we spend most of our day in front of a computer, and the majority of that time is spent in our favorite editor/IDE. Because of this, it is crucial that we are as efficient as possible in our editor of choice. This is where keyboard shortcuts come in. Knowing the proper keyboard shortcuts for each situation will save you time and make programming more enjoyable. In this video I will be going over the 10 most commonly used keyboard shortcuts that every programmer should know.

If you feel I missed any shortcuts please let me know down in the comments below.

Thanks for watching. Let me know if you have any shortcuts that you use everyday that I left out.

Shift + Delete = delete full line. Very nice one

ctrl+shift+ L = change all same names at the same time instead doing copy-paste *vscode*

I have been looking for this specific information for years. Almost every tutorial coding video assumes you know this information/shortcuts. That has been my biggest frustration with learning how to code. Thank you so much!

I've seen a bunch of people use these shortcuts in their tutorials, and they never explain it.. I was specifically looking for these ones, and this is the first one I found actually explaining it. So thank you

cmd+enter is a life saver. I bought a whole keyboard just for the End key when I want to do this function. This is so useful. Thanks

Traversing selected word forward -> Ctrl + F3
Traversing the selected word backwards -> Ctrl + Shift + F3
These shortcuts save a ton of time for quickly going through the code to find next and previous occurences of variables.

Great video, Kyle (as always) - thank you for sharing!

Awesome video. Thanks for sharing these shortcuts!

literally love the comment shortcut. I was definitely one of those guys that painstakingly added slashes to each and every line. At my first internship in college, my mentor showed me the comment shortcut and and I was like “what sorcery is this!! D:<“.

Honestly I feel like shortcuts are like a huge step to being really efficient when developing.

Thanks for making this. Really well put together and super clear explanations. :)

*The best shortcut:*
To delete/replace the same word (for example "print")

Ctrl+F (type the word to find all equal words)

Alt + enter (click delete or type something to replace it)

Thanks for the shortcuts, and for your videos in general! I didn't know about CTRL + Enter.
Here I leave just a few that I also use every day, the problem is that I use a mac...
So I'm also pasting the Command name, this way, it can be searched for windows or other keyboards languages:

ctrl + J = Join Lines
cmd + ] = Indent Line (like tab without selection)
cmd + [ = Outdent Line (like shift + tab without selection)
cmd + shift + K = editor.action.deleteLines
