INSTRUCTOR NOTE:

For an exhaustive list of keyboard shortcuts for Sublime Text, check out the unofficial documentation for Mac and Windows/Linux.

Atom Shortcuts

The video above gives a tour of some of Sublime Text's powerful keyboard shortcuts. But what about Atom? Conveniently, many of the same shortcuts and key bindings work in Atom as well! Check out some of the awesome shortcuts for use in Atom below:

Command Mac Shortcut Windows/Linux Shortcut
Open fuzzy file finder ⌘ + T Ctrl + T
Open symbol search ⌘ + R Ctrl + T
Find/replace in current document ⌘ + F Ctrl + F
Find/replace in project ⌘ + ⇧ + F Ctrl + Shift + F
Comment current line/selection ⌘ + / Ctrl + F
Select next instance (of highlighted characters) ⌘ + D Ctrl + D
Select all instances (of highlighted characters) ⌘ + ⌃ + G Alt + F3
Duplicate current line/selection ⌘ + ⇧ + D Ctrl + Shift + D
Move current line up or down ⌘ + ⌃ + ↑↓ Ctrl + ↑↓

The above list should help streamline your development quite a bit. For a complete list of all keybindings (as well as the ability to override them), open up Preferences > Keybindings on Mac (or File > Settings on Windows) in Atom.

Visual Studio Code Shortcuts

VS Code allows developers to perform most tasks directly from the keyboard as well. You are welcome to check out the built-in Keyboard Shortcuts Editor via Code > Preferences > Keyboard Shortcuts on Mac (or File > Preferences > Keyboard Shortcuts on Windows).

Conveniently, Microsoft has also created printable references for these shortcuts. Feel free to check out the one-pager for your operating system below:
