25 VS Code Productivity Tips and Speed Hacks

Emmet balance outward command - expands selection outwards to the nearest tags/brackets. Hit again to include the tag in the selection. Now combine with another powerful one: emmet wrap with abbreviation. Never cut + write <tag></tag> + cursor between + newline + paste again! Just click on the desired section, balance outward, wrap with abbreviation. Boom!

I am so dumb that I read video title as "25 VERSES code tips 😂 and trued so hard understanding what ut would mean"

Wow

I would let you know that, while I am adapting to some of the shortcuts you advised, I tell in my mind: 'ctrl-pappa, then @'... 'ctrl-foxtrot'... 😄

Opening the Terminal might be ctrl+j for some people now. It is for me

It's very cool to watch a very informative and practical video.
Butta what's even cooler though, is when the narrator sounds possessed from time to time. 😅

Keep cursor at fn name and click f2 to rename the fn and it's all implementation across different pages.

how do you make your VS code look like that? (edited : found it)

If you are on an European keyboard Spanish Portuguese French the comment shortcut is ctrl alt c and ctrl alt u

The thing with vscode it that, without any extensions it's praticly useless, but with them it's a masterpiece, it's flexible and has a lot of extensions that mean if you want something to code, you have a high chance that someone else wanted it and so he made an extensions for that.

Nice shirt, in Large please 😀

Pro tip for VScode... Uninstall it and learn vim

I love to do alt + ^/V, it moves a screen at a time!

I came expecting some novelty but it turns out that as someone focused on optimizing stuff, I ended up doing all of that when I started to learn programming, at least that makes me fell less of an impostor... Hahahaha...

In the thumbnail it says not slow lol like it's a defending word? 😂

I am a 0.5x developer but I identify as a 5x developer because I don't understand floating point data types.

I've always heard that last quote this way:

"There are only 2 hard things in computer science: Cache invalidation, naming things, and off-by-one errors"

Thanks to the monopoly Microsoft has hahaha

Also history of a file is very helpful if you want to revert some pieces of file but didn't commit

It seems, that in the german version, some shortcuts are different... Same stupid thing, like in Excel.

By teaching from The Intelligent Investor??

Btw I use Intellij Key bindings.

VS feels like home

im watching this instead of actually coding

Thanks

it literally changed my life bro

Developing software is not about speed, not at all, but I do enjoy being more efficient, although the extension creep is often a problem. But the major problem in VSCode is that refactoring seems to be some mythological thing most of the time just limited to renaming things, which is cute but almost useless. Any actual IDE, from Eclipse to the older Visual Studio feature a very rich collection of refactoring options, like extracting base classes, implementing common design patterns in a click, and so on which are just something that people that started their career in VSCode seem to have never seen otherwise they will notice the glaring lack of some important IDE features.

Don't get me wrong, I like VSCode, because of the vast amount of plugins, working on remote machines and support for many different languages, despite being utterly limited in some other aspects that used to be considered the killer features of the previous generation of IDEs.

IDEs used to help you code, actually code generating code for you, not just indent stuff and let you shuffle lines around.

Out of efficiency reasons: Ctr + L, Ctr + D (multiline editing) and ALT + UP / DOWN (moving lines)

well I like the turbo console log extension

As someone who has learned to use chrome with the keyboard, I can confirm that what he's saying is absolutely true, and I just installed VSCode and watched this vid to be an amateur for less than a month.

no thanks i'll just use ubuntu terminal

Editing multiple places with ctrl/cmd + D for the first time is the closest thing to magic

Dude your humor is wonderful

None of these are specific to VSCode and most come from other editors first

brakets is much easy...

Why were you using the NATO phonetic alphabet

This is awesome but I am worried that my dual-core potato isn't fast enough to run all add-ons.

ctrl+Home start of file
ctrl+End end of file
Home start of line
End end of line
use shift to highlight

Multi line editing is awesome, but it that a shorcut that can revert back to just 1 cursor, it is irritating to use mouse to click it again 😄

You missed the CTRL+SHIFT+P keybinding, directly opening command pallette, not need to put the extra >.
