I've enabled emacs keyboard mode in VS2005 and so far I'm in love.
The only issue I've run into is I can't find the hot key that triggers the IntelliSense menu. C-j no longer does the trick as it's mapped to something else.
So what is the emacs-mode IntelliSense trigger key?
Secondly, how would one go about finding out what it is?
The IntelliSense trigger is Alt-/ (M-/ in traditional emacs notation).
This and a lot of other formatting-related commands live in the submenus at the bottom of the Edit menu.

My shell is configured to have Alt+n and Alt+p navigate in history (technically, using zsh's history-beginning-search-forward and history-beginning-search-backward).
I used to be able to use these shortcuts in VS Code's integrated terminal, but since I upgraded to VS Code 1.74.1, the Alt+n and Alt+p seem to be catched by VS Code before reaching my shell (the cursor changes to a cross to allow rectangular selection when I press Alt, which I guess is the cause). I do have "terminal.integrated.sendKeybindingsToShell": true and "terminal.integrated.allowMnemonics": false in my settings to avoid interference between VS Code and the Alt key, and I couldn't find another setting to change the behavior. Surprisingly, the Alt+a command is passed to the shell, so some Alt-based shortcuts are passed to the shell, but not all.
Is it possible to configure VS Code to send Alt+n and Alt+p to my shell?
As a workaround, using Alt+Shift+n and Alt+Shift+p seem to work, but that's one extra key to teach my fingers to use :-(.
I am trying to get the integrated Jupyter environment up and running for my VSCode installation. I have the Jupyter extension enabled and can edit and run Python and Markdown cells without issue. However, none of the default keyboard shortcuts work when I am in edit mode. For example, in the below screenshot, I am trying to advance to the next cell using 'Ctrl+Alt+]' but nothing happens when I am in the editor. I believe the criteria for using the shortcut in the "when" column are met which is why I am confused. Am I not in the right context for the shortcut, or am I missing something?

I tried all the stated keyboard shortcuts, making my own keyboard shortcut, reinstalling the extension, looking for similar issues online. This issue does not appear to exist in the same form here.
I am using VS Code with the excellent vscodevim extension. When I navigate to a code that has a Quick Action available I can ctrl + . to activate the drop down context menu.
Is there a way to select toggle through the list of available items using the keyboard - other then the arrows keys. As a point of information, within Visual Studio it is possible using tab, this does not work in VS Code.
Why? 'cause I love my MS ARC keyboard but I hate the rocker arrow keys.
This is a known issue for linux users using vscode with advanced shortcuts like vim extension in your case, for some reason quick fix contextual menu is unattached from vscode shortcuts which makes shortcuts not work. A really easy workaround to use with a graphical interface is HotKey.
HotKey > https://github.com/autokey/autokey for Linux and create your own shortcut.
There is Hover in Eclipse, which enable a quick doc when cursor flies through a word. I already know I can enable "show quick doc on mouse move" in Jetbrains to get that feature.
But, in Eclipse, I can also press F2 to focus (popup a small window puffed with quick doc), even though the cursor's somewhere else. With plugin like Vrapper and IdeaVim, most of time I can free both my hands to get them dirty with keyboard, so 'F2 focus' means a lot to me in Eclipse. I miss this feature while I'm using Jetbrains(AS), how to enable it?
Accidentally, I found the default shortcut Ctrl+Q (Quick Documentation) will meet. As I'm using Vim like plugin IdeaVim, Ctrl+Q here means block mode. But it's not a big deal, I just have to bind another key for this.
I've recorded and saved two macros in Notepad++, giving them Ctrl+B and Ctrl+Shift+B shortcuts respectively. First doesn't work (does not playback macro), while second is all fine (restart doesn't help).
Can macros in Notepad++ have "simple" keyboard shortcuts, like Ctrl+B?
BTW: I'm trying to "emulate" formatting shortcuts (like bold, italics etc.), but for Markdown, not for HTML. That's why Notepad++'s plugins like "WebEdit" won't help me here.
Reworded:
You can save a macro with CTRL+B shortcut...
but you can't use the shortcut to same combination to call it back.
It think it's because it seems that key stroke is already used and your own combination is not overridding the original reserved one.
Ctrl-B Go to matching brace
It seems like a bug within notepad++ or not well documented feature.
Following mehow's answer I found the solution. Ctrl+B shortcut doesn't work for my macro, because it is used with another command.
Going (in Notepad++) to Settings > Shortcut mapper > Main menu, locating Go to matching brace command and setting its shortcut to None solved the problem. From this moment, each press of Ctrl+B calls my macro, not that previous command.
