I think that's true of all editors, though. I ended up on the intellij side of things, and it means I'm clueless about VSCode's key patterns. I've only picked up ctrl-p so far, and keep having to remind myself "this is shift-shift in Microsoft"
VSCode is what made me finally switch away from vim for anything but minor edits. It's just too good.
I did set up vim keybindings in it, though.
Just to be helpful:
Honestly that's about all of the shortcuts I use. The Ctrl+Shift+P menu will show you the keyboard shortcut next to the command, if it has one, so you can easily memorize it if you use a command often.
Totally fair. I think I'm sticking with Webstorm for at least one more year, but might someday give VSCode another try.
Webstorm was the combobreaker that ended my 15 years of Vim.
The only thing that's halted my rampant use of vim is... Neovim.
I tried, so hard. Once you snort a line of a well-tuned IDE, it's hard to decide "I'm going to learn these 30 extensions to replicate that experience in vim".
Flip-side, I hate vim mode IDEs, too, because it tends to collide with native IDE functionality. So I just "dream of vim" and pull it up for certain specific tasks.
You can emulate double shift in VSC. It will be slightly different since it doesn't automatically search actions and file names. So if you bind it to Quick Open as suggested by the link, you'll have to put
>to search actions and not files.
