如何在 Visual Studio Code 中选择一行？

Question

Using Microsoft's Visual Studio Code, how do I select a single line of code? (equivalent to Atom's or other IDE's Cmd + L on Mac)

And what would be the command I'm looking for? (eg editor.action.copyLinesDownAction )

It's quite confusing, since other selection shortucts like Cmd + A and Cmd + D are the same as in my previous IDE's.

Answer 1

It's Cmd + I by default in VS Code versions prior to 1.32.

Starting from version 1.32 it's Cmd + L .

You could change it in Keyboard Shortcuts by searching for expandLineSelection .

Answer 2

As for me, I noticed that what was causing the issue was that there were similar keyboard shortcuts. As a result, what fixed it was deleting the similar keys.

So when I tried to use ⌘ + L I noticed that there was this thing in the left corner.

Picture that says it is awaiting an actual command:

So what I did was simply delete the commands in the keyboard shortcut (ie ⌘ + K ⌘ + S ) that were similar. They ended up being shortcuts for the live server extension.

You can see which ones are similar by typing cmd + L in the search bar for the keyboard shortcut. Any command that starts with ⌘ + L will take precedence over the single one that just uses ⌘ + L hence the reason it didn't work for me.

Keyboard shortcut search of cmd + l :

Hope this helps anyone that may need clarification on this!

Answer 3

对于 VS Code 1.36 版本，使用CTRL - L选择整行，然后按TAB键增加缩进，或SHIFT - TAB减少缩进。

Answer 4

I googled the same question but with the need to delete an entire line in a single keystroke. If you are in the same boat, the shortcut to delete the current line is Ctrl + Shift + k

Answer 5

There are options to select an entire line or just the contents of a line as follows (Mac mappings):

• Select Entire Line : Command + L

• Select Contents of Line : Place Cursor in line content then Shift + Ctrl + Command + → (press right arrow twice)

If you want to assign your own keyboard shortcuts, in your shortcut preferences look for:

• Entire Line : expandLineSelection

• Select Contents of Line : editor.action.smartSelect.expand

(You can get to your Keyboard shortcuts by pressing Command + k , Command + s )

As a bonus there's also a command to Shrink the Selection:

• Shrink Selection : Shift + Ctrl + Command + ← (left arrow)

Answer 6

1. Go to Preferences → Keyboard Shortcuts
   

2. Search for " expandLineSelection "
   Change Keybinding to any key you wish.

3. If you want to use command + L as default, just change it back.

Answer 7

I was struggling also with the same need, and my advice is:

Don't search for default key combination because those change from installation to installation unfortunately but, you have to option to search by keyword and then set the key combination you prefer the most:

The keyword to search the shortcut for selecting the whole current line is cursorLineEndSelect

Answer 8

当该行被注释时：(ctrl+k+c) on windows 如果该行不是注释：(ctrl+k+u) on windows

Answer 9

The reason CMD+L is working may be that you have live server extension, it will create collision. Disable it or remove it or modify the shortcuts of live server.
