Throw away the mouse

[trev-dev]

I left VSCode a long while ago to enjoy learning Vim. Coming back to VSCode lately, I find this plugin indispensable.

So thank you!!

This may be a redundant request. As a matter of fact, it may already be doable with VSCode keybinds, but if it isn't, I'd like to be able to toss the mouse out. So far this means:

• Being able to use CTRL-W to move in and out of the file explorer, also, in and out of the terminal/problems drawer using something like CTRL-W l/CTRL-W k
• Being able to create (touch), delete, move and copy files from the explorer (nerd-tree like features)
• Being able to switch open files as though I were switching buffers (:bn :bp :b) and possibly keybind these to a leader command.
• All the other things that I would have to grab a mouse for in VSCode that I wouldn't have to in Vim/Emacs. I'm sure I'll think of them later.

I appreciate your time!

I'll be exploring the native VSCode keybindings until then. Useful links/suggestions are most welcome.

There is no problem in switching between files, but it's vscode specific build in hotkey (ctrl+tab, ctrl+p should do the job).

On the other hand I found annoying, that extension uses notifications, you can't get rid of without a mouse. For example "not implemented" error or if you use ":e" to create a file it shows notifications with button "create file", that only reachable with a mouse.

I created these settings over the weekend and you may find them a good starting point.

https://github.com/doubleagent/vscode-settings

keybindings.json has a number of things you're asking about (although I now see that I need to revisit the "when" clauses on some of them - they need to be more restrictive).

settings.json has some bindings defined for managing split-screen "buffers". Look at all the "<leader>", "w", "<leader>", "[sS]" keybindings, and also "<leader>", "0-9". It's configured to put you right at home if you're used to spacemacs.

Also in settings.json check out the "<leader>", "t" keybindings for managing the sidebar and "<leader>", "'" for pulling up the terminal.

Closing issue as it's a suggestion that we can work around on our own (more or less). Thanks for the input people!
