Keyboard shortcuts (KBS) for new coders

This extension is made as a tool for new coders to learn usefull Keyboard Shortcuts (KBS) which in turn should result in faster code-editing. The sooner you learn KBS the sooner you will start saving time when coding.

How to use:

There are two ways to open the extension.

1. Via Keyboard Shortcut
    - Windows: Shift + Alt + K
    - Mac: Command + Ctrl + K

2. If that keyboard shortcut is occupied allready you can open it via the command palette
    - Open the command palette (Windows: Ctrl + Shift + P   Mac: Shift + Command + P)
    - Write "Keyboard Shortcuts"
    - Choose the option "Keyboard Shortcuts for Beginners" 
  • Now you should keep the extension-window open while coding and toggle between the extension and your code file.
  • In the beginning you should look at it frequently and try to use the commands as you code.
  • When you have learned the KBS you can still look at the extension to refresh your memory of the commands.

If you are good at KBS you can save up to 10.79 minutes a day compared to using your mouse? This number translates to about 47 hours per year. (According to a study by "The Keycuts")
