• ctrl+space: Add/remove the focused item from the selection

Ctrl+a: Select all items in folder. If all items already selected - select all in outer scope
Ctrl+x: Cut files

I don't understand how ctrl+↑ is different from ↑

[bpasero]

I would stay away from having Ctrl+a select all in the explorer, people are very used to that keybinding selecting all in the editor, even if the explorer has focus and I see not a lot of value in selecting all of the explorer typically.

We currently do not support cut command in the explorer.

The difference between ctrl+↑ and ↑ is that the latter will stop the multi selection whereas the former keeps it stable I think so that you can jump over an item and select a different one.

Still not clear what the multi-selection command is when running VS code on a Mac @bpasero

[bpasero]

@StephenFriedman you mean to select all items in the tree/list?
