Visual Studio code keybinds for my Mac - from a former WoW Arena Healer

Still a WIP, thinking bout it before i hit the hay. Planning on making the best ever set of keybinds. If i spent 3 days analyzing the anatomy of palms and fingers & keyboard ergonomics for my hpal, i can document at least the binds that i use the most for coding.

This is only a small POC

I still have a long long way to finalize my keybinds layout. Writing code in different occasions requires different keybinds. This one shall be the "universal" one till i figure out a system that will suit my needs better. This keybind system is based on the Mac styled, half-profile keyboard (THAT IS NOT MECHANICAL!!!).

Since we're using all the funny stuff in coding, i can't really tick off the tildas or shabang symbols, but luckily Mac has plenty of keys to spare (I will go for international styled keyboards since i got big hands and got used to it already, it adds one or two keys that wont ever be used at all, on ergonomically reachable spaces);

I will try to go with the following:

• Base Invokators - Buttons that will serve as the base for keybinds. CMD, Alt, Shift and Control all have different "weight"
• Follow up bind - Buttons that resemble the action in some manner, but are ergonomically suited for that situation.
• Modifier - Button that modifies the action, most suited example would be fold/unfold - where a button would serve as a reverse modifier

Example being:

If im navigating through the files, i prolly have both my hands at the center of the keyboard, meaning i can hit the key groups at the edge of the keyboard as they are the fastest to hit.

Avoid using SHIFT and dont get used to it a lot, it can be used in non-often, 3-key keybinds. We need it quite a lot Shift is usually my modified in actions that are resembling recursive / are prone to cycling, such as folding/unfolding regions.

Here's my shot:

Best friend:

• cmd + shift + p - your best friend

Left / Right Between tabs:

• cmd + shift + [ - navigate to tab on left
• cmd + shift + ] - navigate to tab on right

Moving the Tabs around - < > buttons :

• cmd + , - move the editor tab to the left
• cmd + . - move the editor tab to the right

Focus editor group on right / left:

(I prolly wont resort to these a lot, mostly my group oriented binds contain CMD and [&] symbols in one form or another)

• option + tab - focus next editor group (i can use this one to just cycle through all the groups, i have only two open at all times mostly)
• shift + option + tab - focus previous editor group (in case i fuck up)

Focusing the groups:

• option + CMD + [ - focuses the group on the left
• option + CMD + ] - focuses the group on the right

Splitting into groups:

I should use MoveEditor instead of SplitEditor since move one actually moves the tab, i dont need additional 6 keystrokes to close the previous one

• CTRL + CMD + ] - move editor into RIGHT group (move it or open in a new group if theres none on that side)
• CTRL + CMD + [ - move editor into RIGHT group (move it or open in a new group if theres none on that side)
