Migrating from TSlime and Vim to VSCode
I’m trying out VSCode. It’s pretty good. Using the Vim extension, I can
recreate my tslime workflow giving me one
command save-cancel-rerun behaviour in the integrated terminal. In
Preferences -> Settings, and JSON edit mode, add the following to the
existing:
1 { 2 "vim.leader": ";", 3 "vim.normalModeKeyBindingsNonRecursive": [ 4 { 5 "before": ["<leader>", "p"], 6 "after": [], 7 "commands": [ 8 { 9 "command": "workbench.action.quickOpen" 10 } 11 ], 12 }, 13 { 14 "before": ["<leader>", "s"], 15 "after": [], 16 "commands": [ 17 { 18 "command": "workbench.action.files.save" 19 }, 20 { 21 "command": "workbench.action.terminal.sendSequence", 22 "args": {"text": "\u0003!!\u000d"} 23 } 24 ] 25 } 26 ], 27 }
Also includes a cheeky <leader>p binding to replace command+P for quick
open since it’s more ergonomic on my layout. Relevant documentation:
- Vim extension README for overall configuration primer.
- Vim extension issue comment with exact incantation for remapping quick open.
- VSCode default
keybindings for
finding out that
command+Sis actuallyworkbench.action.files.save.
