As an emacs user who has used a few IDE's in my time, some nice things you might be missing (but which you may not care enough about to switch):
Easily recording and playing back macros.
Delete-rectangle / insert-rectangle
Undo tree
Jumping backwards/forwards a whole word with a keypress.
Can be run inside terminal, when a command needs an $EDITOR
- 0-_-0 6y agoThank you. 1. Notepad++ has macros when I need it. 2. Rectangular selection is available is VSCode and I use it a lot. The generalisation, multiple cursors (with each cursor having its own clipboard), is the best thing since sliced bread in a text editor. 3. I don't have undo tree, I can see it being useful sometimes. Hope it appears in VSCode soon [1]. Fequent automated backups (file history) works OK as an alternative. 4. Ctrl+left, ctrl+right jumps a word in every editor in Windows. In VSCode you can also jump a fraction of a word (to an underscore or the next part of a camel case name). 5. Well this I can't do but never needed to. [1] https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/84297#issuecomment-583467138 https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/84297#issuecommen...
