List of the LaTeX Workshop Keyboard Shortcuts

Quick Note

All commands are listed as ctrl+some key. If you're on Mac, don't worry we have written equivalents, so every time you see ctrl just imagine it's ⌘.

Extension Commands

By default, the shortcuts are set according to the first column. You may switch to an alternative keymap by setting latex-workshop.bind.altKeymap.enabled to true and reload/reopen vscode.
