Learn and master shortcuts faster

Once you’ve found your favorite shortcuts, add them to your Practice sessions and we’ll use spaced repetition and your performance to determine when you next review them.

While I've used VS Code for over 5 years, I found I knew only a handful of shortcuts. Just spending time in the editor wasn’t enough for me to pick them up. I decided I should be more deliberate and set out to master them and ideally, improve my productivity. What I found though, was massive cheat sheets and memorization tools, I couldn’t get excited about either, so I figured I'd build my own solution.

Shortcut Masters uses a different approach, we embed the same editor as VS Code into our challenges, so you get real feedback on how the editor responds to shortcuts. Combining this hands-on approach with spaced repetition and you’ve got the ingredients to learn and memorize shortcuts really quickly.

I’ve found this approach to be incredibly helpful and I’d love for you to give it a try.

Cheers,

Frequently Asked Questions

Have another question? Let me know on Twitter or via email

How is Shortcut Masters different from other shortcut learning platforms?

Shortcut Masters takes a different approach to other platforms.

Yes. We have a no-questions-asked refund policy. Just send us an email from the account you used to purchase.

Not in the foreseeable future. I'm focused on making Shortcut Masters the best way to learn VS Code shortcuts.
