🔥 9 Keyboard Shortcuts that Improved My Productivity with VSCode

1. Changing the Name of a Symbol

Method 1. Good but risky

• CMD-SHIFT-L But this changes the name across all of the file.
• If you use the Vim extension, use it in INSERT MODE.

Method 2. Slightly Better

• F2 If the name is local, this changes the name in the current scope, otherwise it changes it across all of the file.
• Can be used in INSERT , NORMAL , or VISUAL modes.

2. Use the Command Palette to Peek into things

• Peek References, Declaration, and Definition.
• No need to memorize any shortcut key, but you can assign your own keybindings. Open Keyboard Shortcuts (type it in the command palette) and assign CMD-SHIFT-F to “Go to Definition”. Although it says “definition”, it actually shows you all the occurrences of the symbol :)

3. See the Errors

Either hover over them or F8.

• ESE to hide.
