visual studio code keyboard shortcuts change

There is a shortcut to select the previous occurrence, but it’s not enabled by default. You can use this shortcut to rename, for example, a element to a or remove some double-quotes. In the video below, I use that shortcut to rename some React components. Select some text and then press Ctrl + D to select the next occurrence of that text. This section contains shortcuts that you can use to select text efficiently. In the next video, I change the default shortcut for Select All occurrences-notice that it has a when clause when the editor has focus.

That means that you can activate them under specific conditions. For example, many keywords have a when clause. I find it useful to right-click to open the context menu and select what I want to change from the shortcut. You can also search for keywords from within the command palette, without opening the keyboard shortcuts, but you can’t search for a shortcut by the keybinding. From there, you can type the name of the shortcut you want to change or its key-binding. This will open Keyboard Shortcuts in a new open editor.

You can open the command palette with Ctrl + Shift + P.
