Create your own Keybindings
The Keybindings are stored in a JSON file at the following path:
Users/[your-username]/Library/Application Support/[App Name]/User/keybindings.json
For me, the path is:
Users/mpstaton/Library/Application Support/Windsurf/User/keybindings.json
json
// Place your key bindings in this file to override the defaults
[{
"key": "ctrl+shift+c",
"command": "editor.action.insertSnippet",
"when": "editorIsOpen"
}
]

VS Code Extensions
The extensions take a primary role, and VS Code has many subtle designs to encourage every user to access the extensions that will help them the most.
Similar to an App Store, the Extension feature within VS Code manages extension updates, as well as helps users rid themselves of ones that are no longer supported.
VS Code also designs for Frictionless Commerce, enabling Extension providers to enact their own licensing and paywall policies -- using VS Code's notification mechanisms:




VS Code also employs the Come one, come all approach, allowing anyone to try to build and publish an Extension. Notice the "Build your own" and "Publish extensions" options in the upper right corner.
Because VS Code has such a streamlined and open Extension Library, most Influencer developers do their demonstrations on YouTube using VS Code.
