Most Useful VS Code Keybinds

Here are the shortcuts I find myself using on a daily basis. I will update this post as I think of more.

CMD + SHIFT + K: Remove the current line (better than CMD + X because it does not overwrite clipboard).
CMD + K then CMD + U: Close all file editors for file which are opened and have been saved.
CMD + B: Toggle sidebar for when it gets in the way.
CMD + D: Highlight the next occurrence of the currently selected text. Use again/repeatedly to highlight more occurrences.
CMD + N: Create a new file.
CMD + W: Close the current file.
CMD + SHIFT + N: New window
CMD + Enter: Acts as ‘submit’ on text field inputs on the VS Code UI.
CMD + G: Enter a line number and hit ‘Enter’ after using this keybind and you will jump to that line number in the file.
