This might sound like a weird question, but after a lot of search I found no keyboard shortcut to toggle between the editor and integrated terminal. It sound like a I'm picky but it's a bit of a timewaster to have to pick up the mouse just to switch from editor to the integrated terminal. A most I could use an external terminal window but that kinda defeats the purpose of having an integrated one I think. Is there such a key binding?

Did they ever fix the DPI scaling issues?

I don't have any scaling issues on my Win10 4k 175% scaling setup. But unfortunately text rendering is still blurry compared to native editors due to the underlying Electron/Chromium renderer. Hope this will get resolved soon :'(

I'd like to switch from Atom but a few little niggles make me keep going back. I like how Ctrl+K has the emacs-style behavior in Atom, and there's an annoying bug in VSCod's tex mode which stops commenting and uncommenting of lines from working.

You can override any key combination.

But not key/mouse combinations, unfortunately. I'd like to remap the insert-additional-cursor action to cmd-click on a Mac instead of alt-click (I think it's cmd-click in both Sublime and Atom, but not VSCode), but they left click events out of the keyboard remapping (at least so far).

Is there an option/mode to simply highlight matching parentheses for plain text or files that don't have their own language modes?

I want the appearance of the bracket matching to be specifiable as a preference, so I can make it as visible as I want to make it and not have to just live with what someone decides is best for me and hardcodes.

What you're really looking for is exactly 1 shortcut: cmd+shift-p (or ctrl-shift-p, depending on the platform) for the command palette, where you can fuzzy search for every available command.

If a command has a keyboard shortcut (toggle terminal has one), it's in that list. It even shows your custom shortcuts.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I'm currently switching from gvim to vscode and back again every five minutes, in order to use vscode's debugger --- it's gdb integration is the best I've seen bar none [1][2]. If the vim emulation was good enough, I'd switch in a moment. Which, unfortunately, it's not, for me: the biggest omission is shift-Y/shift-P for yank and paste, which I use constantly, but there's holes everywhere. (Also, the way the vscode's…

What do shift+Y and shift+P do? Are they the same as y and p, but in insert mode?

    :h Y

    ["x]Y                   yank [count] lines [into register x] (synonym for
                            yy, |linewise|).


    :h P

    ["x]P                   Put the text [from register x] before the cursor
                            [count] times.  {Vi: no count}

I love VSCode. Sublime still trumps it in two places though - multi-cursor support in VSCode isn't quite as powerful as Sublime I particularly miss the middle click, drag, select rectangle [1]. The other area is that global search/replace isn't as powerful or nearly as quick. I'm hoping both of these are things they fix in time. [1] http://jdon.at/19OUp

And speed. Sublime beats it in speed by a huge margin sadly.
