You must set it through the JSON file, so open up keybindings.json and insert the following entry. (Mac Visual Studio Code won’t register ` with Command or Option keys). On Mac, you can’t set Command + Option + ` through this panel. You should see an option to toggle the integrated terminal. Search for “Integrated Terminal” in the keyboard shortcuts panel. This keyboard shortcut opens and closes the Integrated Terminal. Let’s start by toggling the integrated terminal. Once I changed this shortcut, BOOM I rarely use the integrated terminal anymore. The real problem was because Mac’s shortcut for accessing the Integrated Terminal ( Control + `) wasn’t accessible enough. It sounds even funnier I say I use a 27" display… I know this sounds funny considering I use a 15" Mac. I felt it was too small there wasn’t enough space for code and the terminal to coexist. I didn’t like the Integrated Terminal in Visual Studio Code for a long time. I didn’t like the Integrated Terminal previously This week, I want to share some wicked shortcuts I use for the Integrated Terminal. I talked about the key bindings I used to switch between tabs and panels last week. I mostly do it because “:w” is still muscle memory for saving even after all these years.Customised (and effective) Visual Studio Code keyboard shortcuts for Mac and Windows (Part 2) 27th May 2020 Personally, I am one is those strange guys who uses the Vim extension in VSCode so I’m sure there are plenty more key combos I might use but don’t because I use the Vim approach instead. Ctrl-shift-t will reopen the last closed tab in Chrome. For example ctrl-space also works in Eclipse, Visual Studio, InteliJ, etc. It should be noted that almost every one if these Key combos work almost universally. To navigate by words without selecting, omit the shift.

If it understands what type of file you have open it will use the right comment characters (e.g # for python)Ĭtrl-space: open the auto complete dialogĬtrl-tab to indent multiple highlighted linesĬtrl-shift-tab de-indent multiple selected linesĬtrl-shift-f: search all files in the workspaceĬtrl-shift-t: reopen the most recently closed editorĬtrl-shift-arrows: select by words instead of just characters. I’m not at a place where I can test these but from memory:Ĭtrl-/ to comment, ctrl-shift-t/ to uncomment. I’m not sure how to do it in Linux it Chromebooks. On Windows you can type alt and the character coffee but I find it easier to use the character map. Search for "union"v and you should find the symbol for MQTT. If you enter ctrl-cmd-space it will open a dialog where you can find emoji and symbols. You can type that combo in any other on the Mac and get the degree symbol. That’s an OS X thing and not implemented by VSCode.
