| > Every tools takes getting used to and learning it's quirks. There's necessary differences and quirks, and there's just... unfathomable hubris by the developers, to the level that it's almost an insult to their user base. Why not alt-drag? EVERY Microsoft tool uses that shortcut EXCEPT for VS Code! Was it not written by Microsoft developers? Is it conforming to a standard I've never heard of, a standard that nobody else at Microsoft has ever heard of either? Why didn't they most simply and most trivially just copy the default keyboard shortcuts from Visual Studio? Wouldn't that have been easier for everyone? Writing something "new" doesn't meant that you're forced at gunpoint to change standards, ignore commonalities, or just do a bad job. It takes the same coding effort to configure "alt-drag" as it takes to configure "middle-drag"! There is no time saved by being sloppy, or lazy. This isn't a corner being cut to save time, this is a reversing of the direction that the steering wheel has to be turned. That doesn't help you manufacture the car faster or cheaper, and it doesn't help drivers. ( I'm not being flippant, the VS Code team literally flips things for no reason.
