Hey Mosh! Big fan of your work! Because of you I’m frontend developer and done a lot of projects. Thank you so much for this. Lets learn and grow together ❤️💫

[@RobbPage]

your first one, multi-cursor editing. you can also just hold ALT and click with your mouse and it will add a cursor wherever you click. not sure what the alt key is on mac. option maybe?

[@abdulhamidmuktar9763]

The first shortcut impressed me and I always looked for such an easier way like that.

1. F2 to rename symbols in every file. If you have a variable, function, etc exported to other files and you want to rename it all at one go, just use f2 and type the new name. It will rename the function in all files that use it at once. 2.If you have a few lines of code you want to wrap in a trycatch or if block, just highlight the lines of code and just start typing “trycatch” and select the vscode suggestion. It will wrap the code you highlighted in the trycatch block. Note that the lines of code have to be together and not have some unhighlighted code between them. Also note that it works with other block like snippets in vscode for other languages too. 3. Use cmd + alt and left or right arrows to move between multiple opened editor tabs. It reduces mouse time.

Thanks a lot for the super helpful video! Especially the integrated terminal shortcut is something I've been searching for a while,. I 've been using the integrated terminal but wanted a quick way to switch between editor pane and the terminal window without using the mouse.

[@iamtharunraj]

The *Ctrl+ T* shortcut is something that will help me a lot. *Thank you so much for this video!* 😊

[@leogg7964]

thanks mosh for this awesome video ❤

[@jarencefeliciano]

My favorite teacher is on fire again. Thanks Mosh! 🔥 I hope you make a tutorial on how to think like a programmer and solve any kind of problems. I request this only to you because I love your teaching style. More subscribers!

[@k303k]

Hello Mosh.After taking your Js,Ts ,React and Nextjs course I got a job as a Frontend Developer. Can i kindly request for next Nextjs course with big project and React Native with TypeScript course sir?

[@mannyleemiller]

May I ask, did you also go to college before his courses or do you have experience besides his courses? I'm trying to get a job too.

[@k303k]

@@mannyleemiller i have no bg actually. I highly recommend to learn from his course.very simple and well organized.I 've bought some udemy course for React but that udemy courses are too long.Mosh explain deep dive in programmatic way in a short time like noone else can teach me.I'm not a quick learner.I redo his courses for twice and after that i feel digest about the conceps.I highly recommend. You dont need any prior knowledge. He also has html css you can start from there step by step.

[@mannyleemiller]

Thankyou so much, I definitely will!!

[@europeanandasian9463]

Hello mosh greetings from india , your courses helped me a lot❤❤

[@KuriyanJei]

my favorite is ctrl enter. when the insertion point is in the midst of texts and you wanted to go to the next line. also shift alt down arrow for copying the line without highlighting and pressing ctrl c and ctrl v

[@SalahudeenHAMASI]

Love you mosh ❤

[@AfghanGoldenOldies2]

Glad that i know all of these shortcuts already

[@JohnMichaelCagle12]

Alt+arrow key to move a line up or down. Another is Ctrl+K then Ctrl+M to select the file type.

[@omraja404]

# Alt + Shift + drag Your mouse up or down to get multi-cursor # Hold Alt then tap anywhere to get a cursor there using your mouse # Alt + shift + upper or down arrow to copy a line of code # Alt + upper or down arrow to move selected line of codes

[@NaftuliSinger]

Thank you! Will those shortcuts work in Visual Studio as well?

[@anmol7167]

[@calvinasgariyahyavi]

Hi mosh, love your coding videos and advice and will definitely learn from this one as well. Just was wondering if you could an advanced Python tutorial. Keep up the great work 🎉❤

[@tomob121]

I rarely use the multi cursor option, what i prefer is using CTRL+H on a word im trying to change, it allows you to change all of them in a file which has more use in bigger files

[@Blue-pd3dv]

All of these shortcuts are impressive and useful, but the problem is most people, including me, cannot remember it when it's needed 😅

[@nascentnaga]

in windows CTRL-ALT-R to open the window where your explorer is

[@jonathanjohnson2785]

The multi cursor shortcut will definitely save a lot of time. Heck all of them basically 😂 Thanks Mosh

[@manzourabdalla2279]

if you like mosh's courses, hit a like 👍, let us see

[@shambhavshandilya8865]

Mosh i have been following you and your courses its awesome. I just wanna know what is your vs code theme?

[@imanlakhani9560]

Use Alt + arrow up or down to move the code line up or down instead of cut paste

[@CarverCode9706]

I like Ctrl + Shift + F for auto-formatting code. Very useful in .json files

[@mdsegara101]

When you’re working with file management on your explorer or finder, and if you want to get the path of a directory or a file, shift and left click on folder or a file, drag and drop that directory or file to the editor window will automatically input the path of that directory or file. It will be better if you put double or single quotes before and drop it in between those quotes since definitely we need it as a string type for that.

[@guilherme5094]
