CTRL + I/K: Add cursor on line above/below the current cursor position.ALT + SHIFT + U: Mark characters from cursor to start of line.ALT + SHIFT + O: Mark characters from cursor to end of line.CTRL + J/L: Move cursor to start/end of line.SHIFT + CTRL + I/K: Move marked- or current line up/down.ALT + CTRL + J/L: Move cursor to start/end of word.ALT + SHIFT + I/J/K/L: Mark lines/characters while moving character up/left/down/right.ALT + I/J/K/L: Move cursor up/left/down/right.But jumping in and out of input mode always bothered me, so I created my own set of keybindings to reduce the need for moving my hands from the default position: I enjoy doing as much as possible of my work with my hands locked in one position when navigating, marking, copying, pasting, moving and generating code.

Keybindingsįeel free to call me lazy, but I got tired of moving my hands over to the mouse to navigate in the editor–and eventually the arrow keys started feeling far, far away from the main letters on the keyboard. These are my main productivity takeaways after using it for JavaScript programming for 3+ years. Visual Studio Code, the biggest open source project on GitHub, is my go-to editor and is used by all developers at SalesScreen.

Ctrl+Shift+F5 - Restart Debugging - Getting the message “Edits were made to the code which cannot be applied while debugging”? This will quickly restart the debug session and have you on your way.Īll of these are of course available through the UI, but if you often find yourself looking for them in the command bar, or right clicking and trying to find them in the context menu, memorizing at least some of these shortcuts will keep you focused on the debugging.At SalesScreen we write a lot of JavaScript, and I have spent quite a bit of time experimenting with editors, keybindings, snippets and extensions to improve productivity and code quality.

Shift+F5 - Stop Debugging - Ends your debugging session.

Really handy if you’ve been sifting through code and want to quickly return to your debugging without executing any statements. This one takes you to the next statement that will run.

Alt+Num * - Show Next Statement - Sorry laptop users, this one only works with the * on the number pad.

Really handy if you missed something and want to backup and debug it again.

Ctrl+Shift+F10 - Set Next Statement - This sets the line your cursor is on as the next statement the debugger will run.You could also press F9 then F5 which would add a Breakpoint at your cursor, then run to it. This is handy if you want to skip over a block of code. Ctrl+F10 - Run to Cursor - This allows you to move the cursor to a line of code then run until the debugger gets there.It’s really handy when you are done debugging a function, but that function still has a lot of statements to execute. Shift+F11 - Step Out - This runs until the code returns from the currently running function.If the next statement is a function call, it will bring you to that function and pause before the first statement in there is run.

F11 - Step Into - This runs just the next statement.

If the next statement is a function call, it runs the whole function before pausing execution again (unless there is a breakpoint in the function).

F10 - Step Over - This runs just the next statement.

F5 - Run - This both starts the debugging session and continues the debugging session if the session is paused.

Here are some that are useful while you’re debugging.

There are literally hundreds of keyboard shortcuts in Visual Studio, and few people have them all memorized, but it is definitely worthwhile to memorize at least a few.
