40:35 - Tips and Tricks
- Learn how to jump and select by letter, word, line, etc.
- Move a line (or Line Bubbling) - Use this for rearranging and/or moving lines of code quickly.
- Cycling through multiple windows of the same app - If you have multiple VS Code windows open, \\u201cCmd + backtick\\u201d will cycle through them, so you don\\u2019t have to drag them in and out of view.
- Adjust MacOS keyboard settings - change Key Repeat to \\u201cfast\\u201d and Delay Until Repeat to \\u201cshort\\u201d. This will make your editor super fast when holding down arrow keys.
- Use Git features
- Spell Checker - \\u201cCmd + .\\u201d will open up code actions and you check for possible misspellings, etc.
- Rename Symbol - Much more reliable than find/replace.
- Sort Lines
- Select everything between quotes - (Cmd + Shift + Space)
57:25 - Things that could be improved
- Region folding is inconsistent and sometimes doesn\\u2019t work at all.
- No easy way to tell which extension is causing CPU performance issues.
- Sidebar indentation isn\\u2019t clear.
