Visual Studio Code Shortcuts for Web Developers

After jumping on the bandwagon for VS Code I found myself wondering how I was going to achieve all of my short cuts that I had while using Sublime Text (which had the same problem after I switched over from TextMate).

This is a rolling article where new shortcuts will be added as I find them helpful.

Formatting Code

The code formatting is available in VS Code through the following shortcuts:

  • On Windows Shift + Alt + F
  • On Mac Shift + Option + F
  • On Ubuntu Ctrl + Shift + I

Alternatively, you can find the shortcut, as well as other shortcuts, through the search functionality provided in the editor with Ctrl +Shift+ P (or Command + Shift + P on Mac), and then searching for format document.
