Custom w/out auto advance shortcuts

[kklot]

Hi @randy3k, this is not an issue but question about a feature, is it possible to customize e.g. Cmd + Enter to send and advance, Cmd + Shift + Enter to send and not advance the cursor position?

Some time back I wrote a little plugin that toggles any setting. You could keybind a multicommand where you toggle auto-advance, send the code, toggle again. Not the cleanest but should work.

If you are interested I will test it out for you.

thanks for the suggestion @lieskjur, that sounds like a hassle though as I send code very often (to R/Python). I have completely moved from sublime text to vscode now so it no longer bugs me, not sure if I should close this or not.

Should work just like any other keybinding once set-up. I personally used it to toggle auto advance depending on the language I was working in.

I get the appeal of vscode, but as they say Sublime Text is a text editor, not an IDE. And I don't need a standalone IDE on linux :)

well, I'm off-topic but I don't know why vscode is called an IDE though, like ST I installed only addons/packages that I needed and the usage/workflow is exactly the same. For just editing text we already have vim (vim-vscode is also the appeal for me).

[JurajLieskovsky]

I personally wouldn't call it an IDE either although with enough packages you can certainly make it behave like one. The one thing I must say is that most packages push it a lot further in that direction with the reliance on the in-built terminal, document viewer, ... Isn't there the "vintage mode" in ST if you are so inclined?

@randy3k would you have any input on this issue?

[randy3k]

It is currently not possible to do so with different keybindings. However, the cursor won't move if you highlight some text and send the selection instead.
