command pallette: f1, or ctrl+shift+p

view docs on function: ctrl + k then i
view parameter types, or return type, of function: ctrl + k then i
Give me help information about a command, the return types it has, etc.:
- ctrl+shift+f10 (may be the best option)
- called “editor.action.showHover”: ctrl + k then i
- it is the same as hovering your mouse over the function.
Show me the source of a function.
- linux: F12
- mac: ctrl+F12
- alternatively, peek: ctrl+shift+f10
  - warning: do not use ctrl+alt+f10, it breaks everything.
- go back afterwards: ctrl+alt+-
Add an import.
- easy way: ctrl+. (quick fix), then add import.
- I added/customized: ctrl+alt+o
show me the file in the explorer
- called “explorer.autoreveal” or “Reveal in explorer view”
- Ubuntu has no shortcut, but you can map one.
- right click on the tab, then choose “Reveal in explorer view”
- ctrl+alt+r does that for java, I configured the keybinding for files instead of just java.
