Text Manipulation in VSCode

via egghead.io

Overview

Gain efficiency in navigating and manipulating text in VSCode. If all you’re using right now is your mouse, you’re leaving a lot on the table in terms of efficiency.
VSCode gives you the ability to detect patterns in text and manipulate those patterns as you see fit. e.g. when you’re renaming a variable, you don’t want to rename just the declaration but all the uses of that variable in one file. Do so in just a few key presses.
