Using Visual Studio Code Features to Speed Up Your Code
summary
Shows only built‑in VS Code features (no extensions, no Copilot) and demonstrates concrete shortcuts: Command/Ctrl+Shift+P for the command palette, Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+F and Cmd/Ctrl+P for search/file open, and multi‑cursor via Cmd+Option+Arrows and Cmd+Shift+L. Explains snippet files (global vs .vscode project JSON), placeholders like $1/$0 and choice lists, creates demo snippets to avoid live‑coding mistakes, uses Emmet abbreviations (HTML5, > nesting, $ for numbering) and generates Mermaid diagrams that render on GitHub.
