Here’s a list of handy keyboard shortcuts for selecting, copying, cutting, and pasting text in VSCode, Atom, or Sublime Text (they’re all the same in that sense).
You know the thing where you press Cmd+D to select the next occurrence of a word? But what if you want to skip a word? Or go back one step? Here’s how to master the multiple selection tool in Visual Studio code.
Start by having a cursor on top of a word. If you’re on Windows or Linux please replace Cmd with Ctrl.
| Shortcut | What it does |
|---|---|
| Cmd+D | Selects a word, press again: select next occurrence |
| Cmd+K | Skip the current occurrence |
| Cmd+U | Go back one word |
Also, the more universal text selection works:
| Shortcut | What it does |
|---|---|
| Alt Shift+arrows | Selects the word next to cursor |
| Shortcut | What it does |
|---|---|
| Cmd+L | Selects current line |
| Shift+Cmd+K | Delete current line |
| Cmd Shift+right | Select to end of line |
| Cmd Shift+left | Select to beginning of line |
| Shortcut | What it does |
|---|---|
| Ctrl Cmd+up/down arrows | Moves line up and down |
| (fn)+F5 | Alphabetizes lines (Only in Sublime Text) |
| Shortcut | What it does |
|---|---|
| Alt+left/right arrow | Move cursor to next or previous word |
If you just do Cmd+C, without any text selected, it will copy the whole line of text.
| Shortcut | What it does |
|---|---|
| Cmd+C | Copy whole line |
| Cmd+X | Cut whole line |
| Cmd Shift+D | Duplicates line (Sublime Text) |
| Shift+alt+up/down | Duplicates line (Visual Studio Code) |
In Sublime Text there is a "Vintage Mode", which means that all the Vim commands will work, enable it from the settings by adding this line:
"ignored_packages": ["Vintage"]Comments would go here, but the commenting system isn’t ready yet, sorry.
