The BetterArrow extension for VS Code allows you to use j, k, l, and ; as arrow keys (left, up, down, right) when holding the Alt key. This can improve your coding efficiency by keeping your hands on the home row.
Why BetterArrow?
Using j, k, l, and ; instead of h, j, k, l is easier while holding the Alt key. This layout minimizes finger movement and reduces strain, making it more ergonomic and efficient for prolonged coding sessions.

Alt + k - Move cursor up
Alt + l - Move cursor down
Alt + ; - Move cursor right
