In vim I can search for a visually selected string using a number of techniques including what can be found here:
http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Search_for_visually_selected_text
Is there a way to do the same thing in VSCode with the Vim extension?
Right now, VsCodeVim doesn't support the command in search mode, so that keybinding isn't possible.
If you want to see that in the future, opening an issue at https://github.com/VSCodeVim/Vim/issues would help.
EDIT: https://github.com/bronson/vim-visual-star-search is implemented, so this functionality is now there.

In VS Code, when you are working with a markdown file with the "Markdown All in One" extension active, ctrl-B sets the selected text to bold by surrounding it with **
The problem is that I use the ctrl-B keyboard shortcut all the time to show/hide the side bar.
Is there any way to disable that emboldening shortcut (or define an alternative one) when working with Markdown files, and to use it for hiding the side bar?
edit: the problem was that I had the 'Markdown All in One' installed
I don't think this can currently be done without uninstalling / deactivating your "Markdown All in One" extension. If you look at the list of keybinding actions it offers (see those that start with markdown.extension.editor.toggle), there are ones for toggling code spans, blocks, math, lists, but none for toggling bold and italics, which I find strange. No dice either searching for suggestions in the keybindings.json with "markdown.extensionbold".
So either I'm missing something, or you need to make a feature-request on their GitHub. If you do, post a link in the comments here for posterity.
As a last resort to get a fix right now, you could just remap your toggle-side-bar keybinding to something else.
people from StackOverflow. I have a very frustrating experience with VS Code. At the moment of starting a new file, a mode starts on the editor that makes me being unable to type anything. Here is a youtube link from me, trying to type something.
Unable to type characters in VScode
Please, tell me, what should I do?
press control+C, then press "i" to get in the "insert" status, you could edit your file now.
It looks like you have the Vim extension, or another extension, installed which is causing this. I see SURROUND INPUT MODE in the status bar which is probably the cause. Look at your extensions and see whether you need to disable or uninstall one, or start Code with --disable-extensions flag to disable them all.
I have been having the same problem caused by a plugin called vim (vim emulation for Visual studio code)...If it can help..
I had the same issue so I look up to Visual Studio Extensions and Disabled Vim extension then I can now edit my code anytime.
I had the same issue which was caused by the vim extension. Just go to extensions and type in vim, if it's installed clicked uninstall then reload/refresh vscode. This worked wonders for me.
Just press "i" on your keyboard, it should work!
You can disable this by starting with the letter i while your file is opened and with the cursor at any point on your file. Tapping i on your keyboard should immediately take you back to insert mode.
Challenge with this: You have to do it for every file before you start typing.
This is probably the VIM extension. You can keep the extension, all you need to do is command + C then i. the i is to get into insert mode.
To completely solve this problem, you may have to uninstall or disable VIM as an extension
Had the same problem. all I had to do was disable the vim extension install in my vscode
Disabling vim plugin in VS code helps.
Does VS Code (I currently use v1.8.1) has any shortcut like ctrl+q in eclipse?
It returns your cursor to the place where you stopped writing code(very useful for fast code browsing)
and it is different to alt+left which navigate backward
EDIT: I have found that this extension should do that you're asking. I suggest trying it out.
Original:
Out of the box in VS Code, this command does not exist. The list of default shortcuts can be found here, or you can open the keybindings settings in VS Code (ctrl+k, ctrl+s on Windows) and see which commands are available.
If you'd like to suggest this as a feature, you can open a new issue on GitHub or consider creating an extension.
If I understand correctly, you want a command that will move the cursor to where the last edit in a document was made.
This should be possible using an extension that listens to document change events and records the position of the cursor. Then, when the command is issued, it sets the editors cursor to that saved position.
You can also try "Eclipse Keymap" from Alphabot Security, has a lot of eclipse bindings.
I don't believe there is a built-in way to do this, but you could work around it by using an extension such as https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=alefragnani.Bookmarks .
I just trying to switch my editor from NetBeans to VSCode, however there is one feature which i missed from NetBeans and seem not exist at VSCode. I am not sure what is the name of the feature, i just call it "Scope mark line". The detail is like picture attached.
My question is, is there any plugins can bring that feature to VSCode? Please let me know if any, thanks in advance.
I also had a hard time searching for this feature, and found this VS Code Extension on the Marketplace: guides which adds various indentation guide lines. This worked for me editing ruby and bash files on osx.
Some of the tags for the extension:
guides indentation indentation guides ruler
From Default indent line guide in Visual Code?
Enable in settings.json:
"editor.renderIndentGuides": true
Textmate & Notepad++ can complete all words which appeared in the current document, how to enable this in Coda?
e.d. I have typed "some_text" in a document, then when I type "some_" then press ESC - "some_text" should appear in the suggestions list.
Auto-complete in Coda is automatically enabled, and as far as I know, it can't be disabled. It is a lot like Dreamweaver with auto-complete, it will show you your starting tags and should automatically close some tags.
As for words, I'm pretty sure that it doesn't do that.
