Add cursor shortcut in VSCode

In the VSCode terminal, whenever we want to go to the start of a long command, we only need to press Ctrl+A. However, there is no default shortcut to jump to the end of the line, so we have to add one.

Here’s how to add the shortcut:

1. Open the keyboard shortcuts JSON file in VSCode:
   • Press Ctrl+Shift+P, then run Preferences: Open Keyboard Shortcuts (JSON).
   • (Ctrl+K then Ctrl+S opens the graphical editor instead.)
2. Add this entry (I’m using Ctrl+E, but you can use any key you want):

   {
    "key": "ctrl+e",
    "command": "workbench.action.terminal.sendSequence",
    "when": "terminalFocus",
    "args": {
        "text": "\u0005"
    }
   }
   

\u0005 is the Ctrl+E control character, which the shell interprets as “move to end of line”.
