Adding compile shortcuts to the VS Code Solidity extension

keybindings.json

// Place your key bindings in this file to overwrite the defaults
[
    { "key": "ctrl+c",       "command": "solidity.compile",
                                "when": "editorTextFocus" },
    { "key": "shift+ctrl+c", "command": "solidity.compile.active",
                                "when": "editorTextFocus" }
]

The above config adds keyboard shortcuts for the two compile commands in the Solidity extension for VS Code. The two commands are:

1. Compile the current solidity file
2. Compile all solidity files (*.sol)

Open the keybindings.json file using the VS Code menu Code->Preferences->Keyboard Shortcuts. The keybindings.json file should be in the right hand plane.
