Select to End/Beginning of Line in Visual Studio Code

Question

In most editors (including Visual Studio proper), I can use Shift+End to select all of the text from the cursor location to the end of the current line, and Shift+Home to select all text up to the beginning of the line.

These shortcuts don't seem to work out-of-the box (at least, on the Mac version). Is there some way to enable this, perhaps with a plugin or a setting I'm missing?

Answer 1

Strange it should work out of the box. If not, go to File > Preferences > Keyboard Shortcuts and look for cursorEndSelect.

{"key": "shift+end", "command": "cursorEndSelect", "when": "editorTextFocus"} 

Answer 2

I use following inbuilt shortcut (VSCode 1.39.2, MacOS 10.15)

 

⌘ Command + ⇧ Shift + → Right Arrow key combination
