It's a step in that direction but some key things don't work. Like the behavior of ctrl+shift+D is not available in VS code. Neither is multiple cursor copy/paste. Text drag & drop is missing. There are many other small quirks that won't let me make the move. A decent ftp client is also not there. The only one that works is shitty entire folder sync, I can't upload individual files. Their git and intelliJ integration is good though.

ctrl + shift + d in Sublime is shift + alt + down in VS Code. Multiple cursor copy & paste works fine.

No it's not. It copies the entire line in VS code. In sublime it copies the selected text. Huge difference.

Yup, this is what finally got me to make the switch. There are a few things that aren't the same like alt-click for column selection (alt+shift+click instead), but it certainly made the transition easier.

Keyboard commands are actually the reason I haven't stayed with pycharm for my day job. I'm hoping more IDE-like features make their way into the python extensions - like vagrant/docker integration with build systems.

After seeing evil-mode and now this I just have to ask: Is having the same shortcuts really that important to people?

I understand that you may have been using the same tool for X years and developed muscle memory and all that. But now you are putting yourself in a disadvantage because if you use someone elses machine you will not be able to get much done because despite using VS Code for Y years you still haven't learned the native controls.

Or maybe I am the only one thinking this way?
