VSCode: How to split editor using same shortkeys as Sublime Text

Question

In Sublime Text I can use the following shortkeys:

ALT+SHIFT+2 : create two columns
ALT+SHIFT+3 : create three columns
...

I want to be able to do the exact same thing in VSCode (without downloading the Sublime Text keybinding since I want the rest to stay the same)

Answer 1

If you search for columns within the "Keyboard Shortcuts" editor, you wil see these options:

workbench.action.editorLayoutTwoColumns

workbench.action.editorLayoutThreeColumns

They are unbound to any keyboard shortcut by default. Click the plus sign to the left of each of these commands in turn and you will get a dialog box where you can enter your chosen keybinding for each and you are done.
