About Atom Keymap
Atom Keymap for VS Code
This extension ports popular Atom keyboard shortcuts to Visual Studio Code. After installing the extension and restarting VS Code your favorite keyboard shortcuts from Atom are now available.
Changes Introduced in Version 3.0
- Multi cursor editing changed from <kbd>alt</kbd> + click to <kbd>ctrl</kbd> (or <kbd>cmd</kbd>) + click.
- Enable format on paste.
All of these features make VS Code more "Atom like." The changes to your User Settings file are as followed.
// Changes the multi cursor mouse binding
"editor.multiCursorModifier": "ctrlCmd",
// Controls whether format on paste is on or off
"editor.formatOnPaste": true
