Moving Intellij to VSCode by keeping these shortened keys

Thomas Bnt ☕ - Sep 22 '22 - - Dev Community

I am basically an IntelliJ user, but sometimes I use VScode. And one of the few reasons I don't like VSCode too much is the lack of space and visibility for debugging and my keyboard shortcuts.

In this post, I can solve from an extension the second problem.

Install the extension on VSCode

I found how I can achieve my wish with IntelliJ IDEA Keybindings.
