# Getting started with VS Code
|
|
|
|
VS Code is a powerful text editor, hidden behind a simple interface.
|
|
|
|
VS Code supports various **keyboard shortcuts**, the most important for us are:
|
|
|
|
| Shortcut | Action |
|
|
| ------------- | ---------------------------- |
|
|
| `cmd+N` | create a new file |
|
|
| `cmd+S` | save the current file |
|
|
| `cmd+O` | open a file |
|
|
| `cmd+P` | use quickpick to open a file |
|
|
| `cmd+shift+P` | invoke a command (see below) |
|
|
|
|
For more information, see the [VS Code keyboard cheat sheets](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/getstarted/keybindings#_keyboard-shortcuts-reference), where you can also see how to customize your keybindings.
|
|
|
|
## Commands
|
|
|
|
Commands make VS Code extremely powerful.
|
|
|
|
To invoke a command, press `cmd+shift+P` and select the command you want to execute.
|
|
For example, to see the Foam graph:
|
|
|
|
- press `cmd+shift+P`
|
|
- start typing `show graph`
|
|
- select the `Foam: Show Graph` command
|
|
|
|
And watch the magic unfold.
|
|
|
|
For more information on commands, see [commands on the VS Code site](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/getstarted/userinterface#_command-palette).

## Panels
|
|
|
|
You can see a few panels on the left, including:
|
|
|
|
- `Outline`: this panel shows you the structure of the file based on the headings
|
|
- `Tag Explorer`: This shows you the tags in your workspace, see [[tags]] for more information on tags
|
|
|
|
## Settings
|
|
|
|
To view or change the settings in VS Code, press `cmd+,` on Mac and `ctrl+,` on Windows/Linux.
