Frequently Asked Questions

Pick 3-5 shortcuts per week and force yourself to use them instead of the mouse. After a few days, they become muscle memory. Start with the most-used actions: save, undo, copy, paste, find.

Most shortcuts have equivalents: Cmd on Mac maps to Ctrl on Windows, Option maps to Alt. Some Mac-specific shortcuts (like Mission Control) don't have Windows equivalents and vice versa.

Cmd/Ctrl+P (quick open file), Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+P (command palette), Cmd/Ctrl+D (select next occurrence), Alt+Up/Down (move line), and Cmd/Ctrl+/ (toggle comment) are the top 5 time-savers.
