Pro VSCode Tricks

[@ArnasJelizarovas]

Harry, when selecting multiple parts with Ctrl + D, you can skip unwanted ones with Ctrl + K.

oh my god. mind blown as well. that's awesome Arnas, thank you!!!

[@alejov]

Thank you man

[@gavinlindridge]

Love this!

[@VidarrKerr]

alt + up/down arrows with multiple lines selected is awesome. Lot of great time savers here. Thanks!

[@abdulazeez.98]

Awesome tips! I’ve always procrastinated searching for those keyboard shortcuts.

[@abubakar.khawaja]

My mind is blown !!! Thanks HARRY!!

[@aaronvandyke2597]

Quick mnemonic device: cmd+b opens the "bide" and cmd+j opens the jottom, or jerminal, if that's easier for you to remember! Leave it to Microsoft for that intuitive UX.

[@ModestJoke]

One nice thing I've enjoyed is being able to Ctrl-Click a file name in a Python exception message and it jumps not just to that file, but to the line from the error message as well. So clever!

[@LearnWebCode]

Awesome video. cmd+j is so much easier to press compared to control + tilde; love it! I also had no clue about the cmd + p to quickly search for a file.

[@hswolff]

Yaaasss!!! The learnings increase!

[@louiscunyfr]

Great content Harry. You can insert multiple cursors at the end of every line without plugin by pressing SHIFT + ALT + I

[@hswolff]

Aha! So you can!! Lovely, thank you!

[@Southpaw101]

Cool

[@sarahwbs]

In addition to Option + up/down to move a line up or down, you can hold Shift at the same time to copy the current line up or down.

[@hswolff]

😱 that’s awesome! Thank you Sarah!

[@blank001]

I use vim in sublime, most of the features you mentioned here are in build in VIM. VS code also has a VIM plugin just give it a try, and you'll just love it. But there is a steep learning cure to it, but it's worth it.

[@love.ly.]

Ram Bhosale worth it no doubt

[@Chronohz]

I use Vim in VS Code. I know you can do the Ctrl + D trick with "gb", but do you know how it is possible to skip lines like you can with Ctrl + K?

[@Southpaw101]

Multiline tip is very cool!!!

[@alemesa.youtube]

man you deserve ten times more followers, great video and keep it up

[@hswolff]

Tell EVERYONE YOU KNOW!!! haha :D

[@eastcoastcoder]

Stellar! I remeber you mentioning you were considering making a guide to VSCode back in the podcast days. Really hyped for this one 😎

[@hswolff]

Did it live up to expectations?!

[@abc_cba]

This is the first VS code tips based video of the hundreds that I have ever watched in my saved later section. Keep your good work. Only tip is don't embedd your face into the tutorials, it's too gorgeous and I have difficulty focusing on the code. 😂 Jokes apart, you deserve the subscription. Thanks.

[@planetmall2]

Great job as always.

[@hswolff]

Eyy, thank you!

[@mayankramina]

I came to comment section to find a good comment on the siren in background, couldnt find one

[@noface960]

vscodevim plugin, contains much of what you showed and more, thank

[@Maikel13mg]

Great video !! It should be a must to master our tools to be more productive doing our work.

[@hswolff]

I agree! It helps me be so much more productive!

[@vishnyo]

As of Visual Studio Code version 0.10.9, you can now do a Create Multiple Cursors from Selected Lines by selecting multiple lines, and pressing Shift+Alt+I no need to install Additional plugin

[@hswolff]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@gavinlindridge]

Everyone seems to use ctrl + shift + p to open command palette. I'm pretty sure I never made a modification and just use F1 instead, soo much easier to hit 👍

[@ndbe]

you can add cursor in line up or down with "ctr + alt +up" or "ctr + alt + down"

[@ArnasJelizarovas]

Yes! No extension required!

[@hswolff]

:o It's not working for me? Maybe I have a different keybindings installed?

[@ArnasJelizarovas]

It works on my windows pc, but testing on linux laptop didn't seem to work. I would guess it has to do something with the physical keyboard fn keys (its defaulting to 'home' or 'end' on mine)

[@ManasTunga]

Nice Video Harry, useful pro tips !! 💓 it book marked it.

[@hswolff]

Woohoo! Thank you Manas!

[@seanaguinaga]

Most lit thumbnail yet, Harry

[@hswolff]

Awwww yeaaah!!! So glad you like! I had a lot of fun making it :D

[@fabioramatis2373]

It's fun to see you doing things in vscode and I see if I can do the same in vim haha Learn for all communities!

[@vinayakshahdeo7578]

Harry time for some sockets and graphs in react?

[@secretagentx-9908]

Websockets and d3?

[@vinayakshahdeo7578]

@@secretagentx-9908 I don't know about d3 but sure why not

[@hswolff]

You want to see d3 with react? While you wait for a new video, check out this old presentation I made of D3 in React Native :o hswolff.com/blog/react-native-art-presentation/

[@rose123998]

sublime so far is my fav one it has everything you showed here but i used vscode just because git support

[@keithprice3369]

You're using Yarn? Do you see significant advantages of that over npm? Or, is it just what you got used to?

[@hswolff]

Over time I've found Yarn to just be more reliable and faster than npm. I have higher confidence in yarn than npm nowadays.

[@danielmadison4451]

Harry, I want to like this video but I am obviously missing something that must be obvious to others. I have been looking all over my Keyboard for the CMD key??????? LOL

[@danielmadison4451]

By the way, I obviously tried the Ctrl key

[@zach4216]

1. This video is so dope. Thanks! 2. Kind suggestion: get a better microphone for your vids :)

[@hswolff]

Hah thanks! I actually have a fairly good mic, curious what sounds off to you? It may be the room I’m in, it’s fairly echoey.

[@zach4216]

@@hswolff Oh ok, perhaps it is just the room then. It sounds a bit reverbish/echoish to me. Like you're a bit distant and not super crisp. It could just be me!

[@keithprice3369]

You can place your cursor in multiple places by Alt clicking. Do you know if there's a keyboard equivalent?

[@zameeebasha]

You can add cursor on multiple lines by holding down option shift and dragging down, you can use the same to add cursor to end of lines by dragging till the line end.

[@keithprice3369]

@@zameeebasha Thanks for that. I'm on Windows and neither Alt Shift nor Ctl Shift with arrow key works for me. :(

[@hswolff]

Ah yes, forgot about that one! So good!

[@captainspeedy108]

I messed up my titlebar color in visual studio code. Can you recommend a perfect color for a dark theme??

Vim with VSCode 🤯

[@whynot9963]

Ctrl/cmd + g to open "go to line" instead of going cmd+p and typing :

[@Diamonddrake]

Cmd + shift + k deletes a line without copying it. But it’s a little awkward.

[@hswolff]

Yeah, not my favorite at all. But at least it's there!

[@Venezuelangel]

This KZbinr: "Arcane, Pro Moves with VS Code" Everyone else: "Beginner hotkeys to get you started with VS Code". Should have known it was clickbait. Making sure youtube never recommends your channel to me again.

[@hswolff]

You knew these moves already? In my experience few people do. Curious what you’d push beyond those hot keys?

Thank you 🙃
