    Just to be helpful:

    • Alt+Shift+Up/Down to duplicate a line (IIRC on Linux this defaults to something more complicated and it’s dumb so I changed it to match Windows and OS X)
    • Ctrl+D to create multiple cursors
    • Ctrl+Space to open autocomplete
    • Ctrl+Period to open the little lightbulb menu that sometimes appears next to your cursor
    • Ctrl+Shift+P to search for commands, so you don’t need to remember any other shortcuts

    Honestly that’s about all of the shortcuts I use. The Ctrl+Shift+P menu will show you the keyboard shortcut next to the command, if it has one, so you can easily memorize it if you use a command often.

      Totally fair. I think I’m sticking with Webstorm for at least one more year, but might someday give VSCode another try.

      Webstorm was the combobreaker that ended my 15 years of Vim.

        The only thing that’s halted my rampant use of vim is… Neovim.

          I tried, so hard. Once you snort a line of a well-tuned IDE, it’s hard to decide “I’m going to learn these 30 extensions to replicate that experience in vim”.

          Flip-side, I hate vim mode IDEs, too, because it tends to collide with native IDE functionality. So I just “dream of vim” and pull it up for certain specific tasks.
