Does anyone remember the shortkey for moving selected text to left / right in VSC? 🙂

Hi,

I don’t know of such functions in VS Code.

However I will give you 2 killer shortcuts to discover new ones.

> Displays shortcuts in-app

You will be able to search shortcuts in there.

Ctrl+K,Ctrl+S

> Displays shortcut reference out-app

Opens [that URL](https://code.visualstudio.com/shortcuts/keyboard-shortcuts-windows.pdf).

Ctrl+K,Ctrl+R

Cheers.
