Adding a custom shortcut

​

Removing a shortcut

1. Find the command in Keybindings
2. Click the X next to its shortcut
3. The command will have no shortcut assigned until you set one

​

Handling conflicts

If you assign a key combination that is already in use, a warning appears. You can:

• Override the existing binding (the old command loses its shortcut)
• Choose a different key combination instead

​

Tips

​

Learn the high-impact shortcuts first

A handful of shortcuts cover most of what you do day-to-day:

• Cmd+P — Quick Open files without touching the mouse
• Cmd+Shift+P — Command Palette for any action you cannot remember
• Cmd+Option+Down / Cmd+Option+Up — Switch between running agents instantly

​

Use the Command Palette when you forget

Press Cmd+Shift+P, type what you want to do, and the matching shortcut appears next to each command. It is the fastest way to rediscover a shortcut you have not memorized yet.

​

Build muscle memory gradually

• Navigate the file tree with Cmd+P instead of clicking
• Switch editor tabs with Cmd+{ and Cmd+} instead of the mouse
• Move lines with Option+Up / Option+Down instead of cut and paste

Focus on a few shortcuts per week until they become automatic, then add more.
