Discover P

{
  "key": "shift+cmd+p",
  "command": "workbench.action.showCommands"
}

Shift Command I

How to change the Hot Key for the default method Insert Snippet in Visual Studio Code for Mac Os High Sierra.

Discover I

First, check the inventory of Keyboard Shortcuts currently in play at Code + Preferences + Keyboard Shortcuts.

• Next, reduce the field of candidates by entering the following two keywords at the Keyboard Shortcuts prompt:

shift cmd

Solution

From the keybindings.json file located under Code + Preferences + Keyboard Shortcuts …

• Modify a new shift + cmd + i combo keybinding that invokes the (.json) markdown snippet collection in Visual Studio Code, as follows:

{
  "key": "shift+cmd+i",
  "command": "editor.action.insertSnippet",
  "when": "editorTextFocus && editorLangId == 'markdown'",
  "args": {
  "langId": "markdown"
  },
}

Note. If you are unable to engage IntelliSense from within your markdown (.md) pages, then use the above workaround to invoke your (.json) markdown snippet collection directly from the VSC command line interface.

IntelliSense

IntelliSense is provided for JavaScript, TypeScript, JSON, HTML, CSS, Less, and Sass languages in Visual Studio Code (VSC).

To obtain IntelliSense for your markdown (.md) pages you must install a language extension.

This is over and above a simple linting and style checking extension.

For example, use the term Markdown IntelliSense when querying the Extensions Marketplace in VSC.
