A collection of exercises focused on using keyboard shortcuts in VSCode.
- Clone the repo
- Run
npm install
The objective isn't to write code; instead, you should use keyboard shortcuts (and an occasional mouse click) to edit the code as efficiently as possible within each exercise file, as specified by each instructions.md.
- Pick an exercise
- Run the tests for the exercise, e.g.
npm run test 01 - Read the instructions and try to make the tests pass
The exercises are located within separate directories inside src.
Each exercise directory contains three files:
exercise.ts- The file you should work inexpected.ts- Provides expected types for each exercise. This will give you an idea of what theexercisefile should look like when you've finishedinstructions.md- Instructions for how to modify the exercise file
The offical VSCode Key Bindings are far more in-depth. However, these are my most commonly used keyboard shortcuts.
Not all shortcuts are assigned a key binding by default, so I have indicated whether the shortcut is my custom override in the end column.
You can always search for these by using F1
