3. Keybindings

   1. reference: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/getstarted/keybindings
   2. when accepts a bool variable
   3. custom commands are a pain.
      1. You can do something like with built-in variables

      {
          "key": "ctrl+shift+y",
          "command": "workbench.action.terminal.sendSequence",
          "args": {
              "text": "echo -n '${fileDirname}' | xclip -sel clip \u000D"
          }
      },  
      

4. Use mouse less

   • How to switch panes?

5. Explore version lens Sync

========================================================================

========================================================================

1. UnInstall Clangd
2. Use compilation database (compile_commands.json).

   cmake -B build -S . -DCMAKE_EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS=1
   # equivalently in cmakelist.txt
   set(CMAKE_EXPORT_COMPILE_COMMANDS ON)
   cmake --build build/
   cp build/compile_commands.json . #in the project folder where CMakeLists.txt gets defined
   

3. Go to Edit UI. See here if you don't see it
4. Configure c_cpp_properties.json
   • And to start using parameter clicking, put vim in insert mode
