I don’t think I ever fully heard the full meaning of vsc*** and why it gets bleeped. I knew that it had to do with M$, but Teej explains it so well here. Its about the editor not really being open sources, but is marketed to be such.

Keyboard Driven VSCode
Throw that mouse Away its time to setup some keyboard shortcuts.
These sortcuts were the baseline for switching from tmux/vim to vscode. Most folks posts I was able to find gave great tips on replacing vim, but very few have focused on the hackability of tmux. tmux allows me to rapidly fire up a workspace, create new windows and splits. Then When I switch tasks I can leave that workspace open and and jump right back in later exactly where I left off. There is nothing quite like it. The shortcuts listed here make the transition a bit better. The worst thing I found when using vscode at first was no way to switch between the terminal and editor without the mouse. This first set of keybindings solve that issue.
