I'm new to Observable and as I was editing a notebook I selected several lines and then used the Command-/ keystroke and it "//" commented all the selected lines. I use this command frequently in VS Code and used it in Observable by reflex. I was surprised it worked.
Is there is list of the functions the Observable editor implements? Is there a manual available for the editor it uses for editing cells?
There's a comprehensive list of editor shortcuts that you can access by clicking the ? icon in the bottom right of the page.
You can also type ? to toggle the keyboard tab.

I'm currently new to Spyder and I'm trying to get a feel for the shortcuts.
I have seen that you can actually create multiple code panes using split vertical/horizontal (in order to work on multiple code files), however I didn't find any shortcut to switch between the multiple code panels I had.
So, is there any shortcut to move my text cursor from A panel to B panel ?
(Spyder maintainer here) There's no keyboard shortcut for that, sorry.
In sublime text I used to use a shortcut that allowed me to tab through my multi selection and edit each element individually.
for example I would cmd+d a word then the shortcut would allow me to tab through each selection and edit them individually.
I haven't used sublime text in a month since I switched and can't even remember the shortcut I used to find the name of that action. so I don't even know if it was a plugin or a built in short cut.
is there a similar shortcut in vscode?
You can multi-select in VSCode using alt+click
(can be changed to cmd+click in "Selection -> Switch to Cmd+Click for Multi-Cursor").
To tab through your selections install the tab-through-selections extension and then use cmd+shift+u to start iterating (alternativley ctrl in Windows), then:
tab to go to the next selection
shift+tab to go to the previous selection
click anywhere to cancel iterating
Hope this helps :)

How to show frequently used commands in toolbars under the menu bar in VScode?
In Visual Studio, frequently used commands are placed in some toolbars. We can click them easily with a mouse, not using keyboard shortcuts.
Is there a way to set up toolbars in VScode like Visual Studio?
No, this is currently not possible (VSCode doesn't have one built-in, and the extension API is rather limited when it comes to customizing UI). There was a feature request for this, but it was considered "out of scope":
Support a real toolbar below the window title with actions (#18042)
Note that the extension API does allow you to customize the buttons shown in the upper right of editors, so that could be a workaround in the meantime:
The contribution point is the editor/title mentioned here. This is how the built-in markdown extension adds the additional Open preview to the Side button for .md files:
The third-party Markdown Shortcuts extension takes this even further, adding controls for editing such as Toggle bold, Toggle italic etc:
I made the extension just for this purpose.. you can add buttons like beautify, list files, undo, redo, save all etc to the editor menu bar in the VSCode. checkout
Shortcut Menu Bar
Eclipse has this great feature of searching text in Workspace(Ctrl+Alt+G), Project, File or Working Set.
The results are displayed neatly in a Search tab/view and when I double-click (i.e. mouse) a particular line, the file (in which that searched text is found) is open exactly at where the search text is.
Is there a keyboard shortcut for that double-click? To open the next one?
There is not one keyboard shortcut to perform this action that I know of, but there are two of them that could work in sequence.
Go to Window > Prefs > Keys
Search for "Show view search"
Set some custom keyboard shortcut because the default one is too long to be efficient (I like to use Alt+Shift+S)
Perform your search
With the search view in focus double-click the first result
When you are ready to go to next item, use a keyboard shortcut to show search view again (Alt+Shift+S for me)
Then press 'Ctrl+.'
This shortcut will display the next result and open a new file is needed.
So with this sequence you can use two keyboard shortcuts (Alt+Shift+S then Ctrl+.) to do what you want.

#gamerson has the right answer, but for the future I wanted to make sure you are aware of two key meta keyboard shortcuts:
Ctrl-Shift-L (Command-Shift-L on Mac) - Opens up a searchable list of available shortcuts.
Ctrl-3 (Command-3 on Mac) - Quick Access gives you a searchable, prioritized list of a bunch of stuff - commands, menu items, windows, tabs, etc. It's pretty darn useful.
