How to find command by pressing keybinding in VSCode
You can find the command associated with a key binding by typing the keybinding into the Keyboard Shortcuts
search box:
Unfortunately, per the source code, the vim extension doesn't use this mechanism to bind the o key.
Fortunately, it does let you rebind the keys in settings. First, open settings (F1 Preferences: Open Settings
), then add (to bind i, for example):
"vim.normalModeKeyBindingsNonRecursive": [
"before": ["i"],
"after": ["o"]
],
If you have the new settings UI, you might need to search for vim.normalModeKeyBindingsNonRecursive
first, and then click Edit in settings.json
.
As of the September 2018 release, VSCode can do this from the keyboard shortcuts window.
From the keyboard shortcuts window (cmd+k cmd+s), type cmd+option+k or click the keyboard icon on the right.
