VSCode Shortcuts to improve your Productivity!
D

I'm a full stack dev, working mostly on the backend stuff, while learning and unlearning stuff.

VSCode is probably one of the most popular code editors out there, and being a programmer you need to keep your hands off the mouse as much as possible as it slows you down. In order to achieve this, you need to remember a few shortcuts that'll make your life easier and in this blog, I'll tell you some of the most important shortcuts that every developer needs to know!

• Ctrl + P -> Search and Open a file.

• Ctrl + W -> Close a file.

• Ctrl + Tab -> Switch between files.

• Ctrl + ` -> Opens terminal.

👉 Create a new file: You'll have to download an extension 'advanced-new-file' and then:

• Ctrl + Alt + N -> Create new file(advanced-new-file)

👉 Delete, Rename or Move a file: You'll have to download an extension 'File Utils' and then:

• Ctrl + Shift + P -> Opens Command Pallete

Just type ">file:" and you'll get all the options for deleting, renaming, moving, and much more, look at the image I attached below!
