Keyboard shortcuts
Every shortcut can be changed to whatever keys you prefer.
When you would want it
Muscle memory from another editor is worth more than any default we could pick.
Where to find it
- All Features → Keyboard shortcuts
- Open (command:help.shortcuts)
How to use it, step by step
- Help, then Keyboard Shortcuts.
- Search for a command, click its keys, and press the combination you want.
- Conflicts are pointed out rather than silently taking over.
Why this beats the usual way
Terminal, run button, live preview, collaboration, and a command palette that indexes everything: the pieces that make an editor a workbench are built in rather than assembled from extensions, and each one degrades honestly - telling you what is missing instead of failing mysteriously.
