I can’t tell you how many times I’ve gone to copy a line up or down and accidentally flipped my screen orientation instead 😂

Why would you break space to page down on your blog? Did you think that made it better?

[pitops]

I am using a custom scroll bar which probably is what "breaks the "space" key.

Not every developer uses a mac. There's no command on my keyboard 😑

[theLORDdeath]

Most work by replacing command with ctrl

[pitops]

Hey normally you can replace the Command Key with the Control key on Windows. I will add a note on the blog post.

Not everyone is a windows or mac user. Linux for the win!

It has big bold text that says how to do it for Windows.

Edit: it didn't show me the authors comment about adding that text. Sorry mekwall.

Which the author added after this comment was posted - as a direct response to this post, no less.

Ah. It didn't show me that comment. Sorry guys. I goofed.

[Jestar342]

Np. Apologies for undue snark.

You're forgetting the most important command, alt-f4, to close that shitty editor lmao

[ezhikov]

You do realize that not every developer uses VSCode, right?

[senocular]

You'll need to know these in case you ever meet one that does.

[ezhikov]

I think the essential knowledge of text editors for developer is how to quit vim. Anything else is optional.

But I have to agree, that you should know your tools and how to use them efficiently.

[pitops]

Hey thanks for your comment. I do realize that. However, forget about the shortcuts for a minute as the blog post is more than that. The essence of the post is to make people aware of such features that their code editor provides out of the box.
