basic commands that I use

Set your User Settings

Open the user settings file, Cmd + ,. Here, you'll find all of the settings that can be modified for VS Code. Once you find one that you want to modify, click next to it and it will be copied over into your own settings file. A few good custom settings to start with are font size and font family.
