CODE BLOCKS VS VISUAL STUDIO CODE
This cycles you through the code positions you visited.Ĭtrl+Shift+- to navigate in the opposite direction.

The Toolbox (Ctrl+Alt+X) window has multiple tabs. You can copy/cut multiple times from one area of code, then go to another area and paste them one after another.

If you have any more, please do send them and I'll add them here with due recognition to the contributor. So here is a list of useful hints that I gathered. Some others are very obvious, but when I show them to some people, they are amazed that I can do that so I have included some of those too. Many of them are out there in the open in the menus but I did not see them for long until I went hunting for them. Which is why I try to see if any editor provides all the functionality provided by Vim. And the power it gives is almost corrupting. A compendium of short cuts, tips and tricks, features, whatcha-may-callits for the Visual Studio.
