LGD Navigation Commands

Extension for vscode that provides extra navigation commands that you can bind to any keyboard command.

Assigning Commands to Keyboard Shortcuts

To assign the commands provided by this extension to keyboard shortcuts, follow these steps:

  1. Open the Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P or Cmd+Shift+P on macOS).
  2. Type Preferences: Open Keyboard Shortcuts and select it.
  3. Enter lgd and all the commands will pop up.
  4. Right click and press assign keybinding.
  5. choose keybinding that makes sense. I recommend having it setup in a down, left, right, up format on the numpad with shift, ctrl, alt as a different modifier. For highlight always use shift for the shortcut for the best experience.
