Move Selection to Single Line – Visual Code

Leave a reply

Hi everyone,

A quick post on how to merge a multiline block into a single line using Visual Studio Code:

-- From this
CREATE TABLE posts
(
    post_id INT IDENTITY(1,1) PRIMARY KEY,
    title VARCHAR(100),
    description VARCHAR(MAX),
    user_id VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
    created DATETIME NOT NULL,
    updated DATETIME NOT NULL,
    version INT NOT NULL,
    up_votes INT NOT NULL,
    down_votes INT NOT NULL,
    updated DATETIME NOT NULL
);

-- To this
CREATE TABLE posts ( post_id INT IDENTITY(1,1) PRIMARY KEY, title VARCHAR(100), description VARCHAR(MAX), user_id VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL, created DATETIME NOT NULL, updated DATETIME NOT NULL, version INT NOT NULL, up_votes INT NOT NULL, down_votes INT NOT NULL, updated DATETIME NOT NULL )

Simply highlight your code block, press F1, and then type “join lines”. Pressing enter will join everything. If you’re on a mac you can also use ctrl+j.

Tab Key not Working as Expected – Visual Code

Leave a reply

Hi everyone,

I ran into a bit of a strange issue with visual code today. Tabs suddenly stopped working for creating an indent. Instead, the focus of the cursor changed.

It turns out that I’d inadvertently toggled a setting that causes the tab key to move focus instead of indenting. The hotkey in windows is ctrl + m.

Thanks to this link for the find: https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/21638

Refresh Folder Hotkey – Sublime Text 2

2 Replies

Hey everyone,

Just a quick post on how to setup a refresh hotkey in Sublime on Windows. All you have to do is the following:

1) Open sublime
2) Select Preferences from the top menu and then click “Key Bindings – Default”
3) Go to the end of the file and add a comma to the last entry:

        //Original
	{ "keys": ["enter"], "command": "hide_panel", "context":
		[{"key": "panel", "operand": "incremental_find"}, {"key": "panel_has_focus"}]
	},
	{ "keys": ["shift+enter"], "command": "find_prev", "context":
		[{"key": "panel", "operand": "incremental_find"}, {"key": "panel_has_focus"}]
	},
	{ "keys": ["alt+enter"], "command": "find_all", "args": {"close_panel": true},
		"context": [{"key": "panel", "operand": "incremental_find"}, {"key": "panel_has_focus"}]
	}

        //Modified
        //Original
	{ "keys": ["enter"], "command": "hide_panel", "context":
		[{"key": "panel", "operand": "incremental_find"}, {"key": "panel_has_focus"}]
	},
	{ "keys": ["shift+enter"], "command": "find_prev", "context":
		[{"key": "panel", "operand": "incremental_find"}, {"key": "panel_has_focus"}]
	},
	{ "keys": ["alt+enter"], "command": "find_all", "args": {"close_panel": true},
		"context": [{"key": "panel", "operand": "incremental_find"}, {"key": "panel_has_focus"}]
	}

4) Add the following entry:

//Custom
{ "keys": ["f5"], "command": "refresh_folder_list" }

Now all you have to do is save the file and F5 will now refresh your project! If you want to change the hotkey, simply switch [“f5”] for another value.
