By default, when move cursor by word, via ctrl + left or right, it doesn't respect camel case.

Both Eclipse / Idea can respect camel case when use the shortcut.

Is there anyway to make vscode respect the camel case?

BTW, there is a similar question about visual studio (here), but not about vscode.

(I figured out the solution, so I want to create both the question & answer, to share with others, since there is no existing question to add an answer to).

In vscode:

  • cursorWord shortcuts, means jump without respect to camel case.
    By default, ctrl + left/right is assigned to these shortcuts.
  • cursorWordPart shortcuts, means jump with respect to camel case.
    By default, they have no shortcuts assigned.

Thus the solution is:

  • First, add shortcut that respect camel case:

    • cursorWordPartLeft set to: ctrl + left
    • cursorWordPartRight set to: ctrl + right
    • cursorWordPartLeftSelect set to: ctrl + shift + left
    • cursorWordPartRightSelect set to: ctrl + shift + right

  • Then, remove shortcut that don't respect camel case:

    • cursorWordLeft
    • cursorWordRight
    • cursorWordLeftSelect
    • cursorWordRightSelect

Tips:

  • Shortcuts with Select means jump & select.
  • use ctrl + k, ctrl +s to open the shortcut config page.
