How do I select a single line within Visual Studio Code?

Using Microsoft's Visual Studio Code, how do I select a single line of code? (equivalent to Atom's or other IDE's Cmd+L on Mac)

And what would be the command I'm looking for? (e.g. editor.action.copyLinesDownAction)

It's quite confusing, since other selection shortucts like Cmd+A and Cmd+D are the same as in my previous IDE's.

Solution

  • It's Cmd+I by default in VS Code versions prior to 1.32.

    Starting from version 1.32 it's Cmd+L.

    You could change it in Keyboard Shortcuts by searching for expandLineSelection.
