This extensions strives to organize the text navigation shortcuts in VS Code into a more complete and memorable system.
Many of the shortcuts provided by this extension are the same as the default keybindings; however, a few important shortcuts have been moved, and a few new commands created to make everything more uniform.
(⌘ + direction) will move the cursor maximally
(⌥ + direction) will move the cursor by whitespace
(^ + direction) will move the content under the cursor
