Keyboard shortcuts

A running list of some important keyboard shortcuts
While working on a layout for a blog page, I decided I should start making note of the different key commands that I use on a daily basis. This is a running list of keyboard shortcuts.
VS Code
⌘ command + w - close current window
This has been a game changer - I now close tabs in VS Code when I’m done with them, instead of keeping them open indefinitely (now if only I could practice this in Chrome)
shift + option + ↓ - duplicate current line down
⌘ command + alt + ↓ - add another cursor below
^ control + ` - open/close integrated terminal
⌘ command + \ - split the terminal
This is great for when you need to view two files simultaneously in VS Code
alt + click and drag file to destination - duplicate file in VS Code
I did some searching and this was the best solution that didn’t require a plug-in.
Figma
⌘ command + d - duplicate current selection
shift + i - Show components menu
I use this one to access plugins such as Unsplash quickly.
⌘ command + g - group
