        As for ctrl+<-/-> just modify the keybindings. Here's an answer for that specific command.

        Great thanks. Too bad it's not just a simple setting.

        Having the settings in JSON like that is nice because it's easy to back up. There's an extension that syncas all of your extensions and settings to a gist in GitHub.

        I still use VSCode a good bit but most of my stuff is done in JetBrains tools now.

        Sync is built in to VSCode for a bit now.

          It does by default.

          I've never come across a need for virtual space. If I don't have anything written on a line, I wouldn't need a line comment there?

          I've always used comment blocks or comments above.

          I don't like when comments are on the same line as your code, following the code. It's just so messy looking, and from what I've seen, is not best practice.

            I just tried it in GoLand and I don't like it. If I'm going to a line it's usually so I can edit that line. It's uncomfortable to not jump to the actual data on the line.

                It's not made specifically for comments, that just an example.
                It's really more about how the cursor moves in general.

                A good editor should be versatile enough to accommodate whatever people are used to and since VS Code and Atom unfortunately isn't versatile enough for my needs I have to look elsewhere.

                The question is what. I'd want something that has the editing options I need, is cross-platform, preferably open source and has good integration options.

                JetBrains IDEs looks good but are not open source.

                  Nothing wrong with finding the right one for your personal needs. G/l

                      I have been coding (full time developer) and scripting since 1995 and I have never once wanted a feature like that.

                        @Pete-S Nope. Don't sling code. That said, worked with lots of devs providing ops support. The extremely bright genius types that stand out and really had my respect, each technical team leads, were using one of:

                        • VS Code
                        • IntelliJ EDEA

                        And notably, they'd seem to swap back and forth from time to time. At least long enough to trial new features of new releases. Big Company was footing the tooling bill so cost was not a consideration for them. Ymmv.
