# VSCode Keyboard Shortcuts

You will be using VS Code through a majority of your courses during the program. We HIGHLY recommend that you get used to using the keyboard shortcuts for common tasks. Using a mouse or the track pad will significantly slow you down in programming.

It will take time to learn these shortcuts.

Be sure to practice them with every exercise you complete.
