Cycling through multiple windows of the same app - If you have multiple VS Code windows open, “Cmd + backtick” will cycle through them, so you don’t have to drag them in and out of view. Adjust MacOS keyboard settings - change Key Repeat to “fast” and Delay Until Repeat to “short”. This will make your editor super fast when holding down arrow keys. Use Git features Git History Spell Checker - “Cmd + .” will open up code actions and you check for possible misspellings, etc. Code Spell Checker Rename Symbol - Much more reliable than find/replace. Sort Lines Select everything between quotes - (Cmd + Shift + Space) 57:25 - Things that could be improved Region folding is inconsistent and sometimes doesn’t work at all.
