Would be nice to have the equivalent commands for windows ... Select the block is not Ctrl + Alt + Right Arrow but Shift + Alt + Right Arrow instead. I'm interested in a vim extension tutorial.

As someone who’s transitioning from VS Code to Neovim (just because I got tired of VS Code eating up my battery even when not running), I came here ready to hate but I just loved this video. Congrats, that was really fun and helpful

Ctrl + Shift + Left arrow after Cmd + Shift + Left arrow is what I needed the most. Thanks for the awesome shortcut.

You know what would help? An add-on that hints the shortcut for every action you just performed with the mouse.
And then someone should collect telemetry on that and consider how convoluted some of those shortcuts are.

Nice video. I am fairly good about using keyboard shortcuts but there are so many I don't know about, and I am glad you introduced some in this video. I also use vim and wouldn't mind a video on that! Thanks for the nice video.

CTRL + T its gonna be my new very used shortcut, thanks

Ctrl shift P... You can press F1 instead. So much easier.

Always great to learn these useful things

I got some new keys on my keyboard for VSCode that I can now use during my coding hours.😃😃😃😃😃 I loved it.

Thanks for sharing !!

I expected more focus on vs code. Maybe for future splited video to alias, makefile and so on...

This was a great video! 💯 would love to see a vim extension video too

[edwardspresume]

I believe it's `SHIFT + ALT + LEFT ARROW` to expand selection to select an entire code block in windows by default atm

[AdamtheADHDev]

A video on vim extensions would be awesome.

I do vscode on windows and ash into a Linux machine. I would love to see a video on how do display x apps back to vscode/windows so I don't need a separate vnc session

Opening the command palette is 'probably the most important command' as you say, but given this, why the hell do the VS team make it so stupidly difficult to remember and actuate? I mean, a three key chord! Why not assign the most important thing to an 'F' key? Plus for those of us who are complete mouse holdouts, would it kill you to have something clickable on the interface to bring it up?

Thank you for the video. May I ask the perhaps the most cliched question- what is the theme and the font you are using

[vanvothe]

Modifier keys such as Ctrl and Alt on today's keyboards are always in uncomfortable positions, so using shortcuts is almost inconvenient and difficult to type accurately.

[vencislavvidov]

nice, but i wonder if there is alist with shortcuts:)

[aNeutrino]

How can Mac be considered a valuable first choice for such an important video?

[xiaohaihuang]

why don't you use Microsoft Windows?
