When typing or editing text, Option-arrow to move the cursor one word to the left or right
Command-arrow to move to the beginning or end of the line
Combine either of these with the shift key to quickly select text.
- IggleSniggle 6y agoWow, I use these all the time in VSCode but didn’t realize it wasn’t specific to that application. This works especially well when combined with multi-cursor selection: place whatever 10 cursors for 10 sets of like information, Option-Shift-Arrow to select multiple like-code blocks by word. This experience alone was enough to convince me it was time to learn vim.
- soylentgraham 6y agoIve always found it frustrating there aren't quite the same number of tricks here as windows/visual studio. Home/ctrl+home (Or end, to jump lines/doc) Ctrl+up (or down, to scroll without moving cursor) I forget these others, but I keep trying to use these in osx.
- kreeble 6y agoThis is exactly how I feel in windows coming from a mac, super-constrained due to lack of hotkeys to navigate. Ctrl+A = start of line, ctrl+e = end, ctrl+n = next line, ctrl+v = next page By default, in macOS, this isn't enabled everywhere, but you can do it easily https://forum.keyboardmaestro.com/t/os-x-text-system-keybindings/4929/ https://forum.keyboardmaestro.com/t/os-x-text-system-keybind...
