Atom Keymap for VS Code

This extension ports popular Atom keyboard shortcuts to Visual Studio Code. After installing the extension and restarting VS Code your favorite keyboard shortcuts from Atom are now available.

Changes Introduced in Version 3.0

• Multi cursor editing changed from alt + click to ctrl (or cmd) + click.
• Enable format on paste.

All of these features make VS Code more "Atom like." The changes to your User Settings file are as followed.

// Changes the multi cursor mouse binding
"editor.multiCursorModifier": "ctrlCmd",

// Controls whether format on paste is on or off
"editor.formatOnPaste": true

Why don't some Atom commands work?

This is because VS Code has not implemented those features. Head on over to this GitHub issue and let the VS Code team know what you'd like to see.

Additionally, you can install an extension for many of these features:

• FontSize Shortcuts
• change case
• transpose
