   a starting point would be to take a look at the eclipse or intellij keybindings which are here:
   https://github.com/apache/netbeans/blob/master/ide/defaults/src/org/netbeans/modules/defaults/Eclipse-keybindings.xml#L24
   and
   https://github.com/apache/netbeans/blob/master/java/java.editor/src/org/netbeans/modules/java/editor/resources/eclipse-global-keymap.xml#L30

   We don't really assign issues, you can simply start working on something and open a PR if you have any results.

   @mbien I would like to inform you that i have started working on the same, I hope as I am new to open source you would be there wherever I will need help, thank you for the opportunity.
   and is there any other way i can join the community or a text based app to stay connected in case of doubts?

   I have created a keybinding xml file named VsCode-keybindings.xml

   

   and added a profile Keymaps/Vscode=VsCode in Bundle.properties
   

   an in mf-layer.xml file
   in Keybindings folder tag
   I added

   <folder name="VsCode">
                   <folder name="Defaults">
                       <file name="org-netbeans-modules-defaults-keybindings.xml" url="VsCode-keybindings.xml"/>
                   </folder>
               </folder>
   

   

   but I am not able to understand
   the keymaps foldering and how the ... stringvalue="Actions/Tools/org-netbeans-modules-jumpto-file-FileSearchAction.instance"/> works
   I am stuck here though I have added a keymap folder named VsCode

   

   I don't get how to proceed with this may I get some help?

   @rothardo this looks correct to me so far - feel free to open a draft PR even if it is not finished. It is easier to comment on code there.

   Hi @mbien ,

   I have opened a draft PR to address the issue of migrating VSCode keybindings to NetBeans. I would greatly appreciate your assistance or a referral to a contributor who has in-depth knowledge of this area.

   Thank you!

    @Stuaarts yes this is still open and hasn't been implemented yet. Feel free to try it and open a draft PR if you think it is working.

    Hi, I opened a draft PR for this issue here: #9608

    The PR adds a Visual Studio Code keymap profile using the existing NetBeans keymap infrastructure, including common editor, navigation, search, project, terminal, and debugging shortcuts.

    It also adds macOS-specific keybinding overrides so the profile follows platform conventions on Mac.

    Happy to adjust the shortcut set or scope based on any feedback.
