Cosmic Cursor is a Visual Studio Code extension that overrides some cursor-moving keyboard shortcuts.
|Keybinding|Description|
|Windows:
Ctrl+Up
Ctrl+Down
macOS:
⌥↑
⌥↓|Move cursor up/down by 3 character-containing lines. This skips empty lines and lines that contain only non-word characters.
|
|Windows:
Ctrl+Shift+Up
macOS:
⇧⌥↑|Select like the built-in editor.action.smartSelect.grow command, but better with JavaScript/TypeScript/JSON/React files.|
|Windows:
Ctrl+Shift+Down
macOS:
⇧⌥↓|Reduce the selection made by Ctrl+Shift+Up
|
|Windows:
Ctrl+Left
Ctrl+Right
macOS:
⌥←
⌥→|Move cursor left/right by one word. This is different from the built-in cursorWordStartLeft and cursorWordEndRight commands because this considers camelCase as two words and skips non-word characters.
|
|Windows:
Ctrl+Shift+Left
Ctrl+Shift+Right
macOS:
⇧⌥←
⇧⌥→|Similar to Ctrl+Left/Ctrl+Right, but expand the selection instead of moving the cursor.
|Backspace|Delete the character on the left of the cursor. If the cursor is in front of the first non-white-space character of the line, this will also delete the white-space characters till the beginning of the line.|
|Delete|Delete the character on the right of the cursor. If the cursor is at the end of the line, this will also delete the white-space characters at the beginning of the next line; leaving only zero or one white-space as a bumper.|
|Shift+Delete|Delete the select line(s).|
