Are you utilizing the Visual Code Studio application shortcuts?
Today’s post is by Troy Lowe; Vice President of Development at SafeSourcing.
If you have been following my BLOGs you will know that I have done a couple on shortcut options available in applications that we use in our work environment. Recently I have been getting up to speed on the computer language Python. Python is a language that is used by a lot of professionals that are working with AI and would like to make their applications more powerful by utilizing AI. While learning this language I found that the editor that I like the best so far is Visual Code Studio (VS Code). VS Code is a free, lightweight, powerful source code editor that was created by Microsoft and can be used for a wide range of programming languages and development tasks. Vs Code like other Integrated Development Environments (IDE) provides many features and conveniences found in other IDEs such as syntax highlighting, intelligent code completion, version control and debugging tools. If you’re like me and spend a lot of time using VS Code, you could save some time and be more efficient by learning some of the built-in shortcuts. These shortcuts are used by clicking a combination of the keyboard keys. One of the things that I do most is click save before running the code in the IDE. This can be done by using the shortcut “CTLR+S.” You can then run the code in by using the shortcut “CTRL+F5”. Like I’ve said in past BLOGs, memorizing the available keyboard shortcuts will make you more efficient because you don’t have to remove your hands from the keyboard to use the mouse. Below are some other shortcuts that can be used.
VS Code Shortcuts:
- Ctrl+K Ctrl+S – Keyboard Shortcuts
- Ctrl+X – Cut Line (empty selection)
- Ctrl+C – Copy Line (empty selection)
- Ctrl+P – Quick Open, Go to File…
- Ctrl+Shift+K – Delete Line
- Ctrl+Enter – Insert Line Below
- Ctrl+Shift+Enter – Insert Line Above
- Home / End – Go to Beginning/End of Line

- Ctrl+O – Open File…
- Ctrl+S – Save
- Ctrl+Shift+S – Save As…
- Ctrl+K S – Save All
