Customise VS Code settings and keybindings with Geddski macros

In IntelliJ IDEA, you can comment a line, the cursor is moved to the next line automatically. This is a very easy way to comment several lines. However, in VS Code, default behaviour is that the cursor stays on the same line.

To copy the behavior of IntelliJ, go with:

• Install macros author by geddski in VS Code.

• Edit settings.json and add:

"macros": {
    "commentDown": [
        "editor.action.commentLine",
        "cursorDown"
    ]
},

• Edit keybindings.json and add:

[
  {
    "key": "cmd+/",
    "command": "macros.commentDown",
    "when": "editorTextFocus && !editorReadonly"
  }
]
