Niceee, thankyou

Thanks. very helpful.

Thanks for sharing...very helpful

I tried it.
Every other thing works execept alt+L for me.
And generally also i cant record the keybinding of alt+L.
any idea??

Thanks, I will give it a try.
So far, I had to change the default Delete Line command to ctrl +d ctrl +d.
Getting used to it.

Instead of this using powertoys is a much better
and easier to approach.

Yes, using Powertoys is a good alternative. At least if you want to remap keys across all applications.

thank you !

i find it in code but its read-only.
i searched it using: whereis keybindings.json without result in ubuntu OS

You should be able to edit the one at the top in my image, @sl5net.
Open the Command Palette from the View menu.

Is this character something you're seeing in VS Code only, or any text editor when you press alt + i?

You could check the Keyboard Shortcuts reference (not the JSON one) to see if it's mapped to something else, and remove that mapping. Second one in this image:

@espenbjorkeng I reset it again and found that it works properly now. Not sure what happened. Thanks.

Very beautiful J/I/K/L keybindings.json !! If you use it you shoud use that 👍

Hey @ EryouHao may I know what you mean by reset here? (I am experiencing the same issue).

Is this character something you're seeing in VS Code only, or any text editor when you press alt + i?

it's the normal mapping for option + i on mac:

I guess I'll just map alt+o to up... lol
