Knowing the keyboard shortcuts can really make you more productive when working with Visual Studio Code (VS Code).
One of the most common actions that a developer performs is moving the cursor position either at the start or the end of a line or, moving the cursor to the top or the bottom of the current file.
Let's take a look at the keyboard shortcuts that you can use to achieve such actions.
