Vscode how to add a keyboard shortcut to highlight selected lines

Question

There is a Stage Selected Lines button for git, but is there a way to add a key combination for it?

Too many problems when you need to double-click ( three dots > Stage Selected Lines ).

Answer 1

In case someone is still looking for this:

The commands stageSelectedRanges, unstageSelectedRanges, revertSelectedRanges were introduced some time ago. Please note that there is currently a related error in VSCode: after an incomplete stage, the update is not updated ( https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/26642 ), but except that it works like a charm.

This is how I set it up in my key bindings:

 { "key": "s", "command": "git.stageSelectedRanges", "when": "isInDiffEditor && editorTextFocus" }, { "key": "u", "command": "git.unstageSelectedRanges", "when": "isInDiffEditor && editorTextFocus" }, { "key": "r", "command": "git.revertSelectedRanges", "when": "isInDiffEditor && editorTextFocus" } 

Answer 2

Visual Studio Code gives you the ability to bind a keyboard shortcut to create an entire file ( workbench.action.git.stage ).

As far as I know, there is no (publicly documented) workbench command for setting highlighted lines, so we have nothing to bind with a key combination.

Answer 3

As of October 2016, the default file for the Visual-studio-code keypad contains the following commands (as @Brynden Bielefeld mentioned, there is no stageSelectedLine ):
