Learning all VSCode shortcuts evolved my developing habits (2020)

being a command line person, i always wonder about these IDE "shortcuts".

to be blunt, my productivity is limited by my speed of thought, not by how i manipulate source in a program.

my use of vi is about 10 commands; whenever something sophisticated has to be done i look it up.

if i need to see a declaration, i go back to the command line, run a quick "find ./ -name... |xargs grep and i interpret the results. maybe the results have to be passed through grep, no big deal.

in almost all cases, i spend a lot more time looking at the code and thinking about it than i do searching or typing. a lot more time thinking.

so, my comment / discussion item is "what do you do in the IDE that makes all these shortcuts so valuable?"
