I like the current WebIDE. It has two features which are important to me:

- Lauch it with the . hotkey, from the file or merge request you currently browse

- multi cursor with CMD+D on a Mac

I don’t think I need VSCode, but we’ll see.

I'm glad you enjoy that `.` hotkey! Don't worry, it won't go away! I'm about 90% sure multi cursor works the same way, but I'll verify and make sure we don't take a step back there :)

I hope you find value in the other features we'll be delivering as part of the VS Code transition!

I mentioned the CTRL+D multi cursor specifically because I think this feature is only available in VSCode if you choose the Atom key bindings. I regularly try to show this to my colleagues whenever we’re pairing, but they need to fall back to search & replace in VRSCode.

Hey, Geoff here from Gitpod. Thanks for letting more folks know about us. If people have any questions let me know.
