Stop Wasting Time: Unlock the Power of ‘Cmd + D’ for Instant Line Duplication
Cmd + D is a shortcut so simple, yet so effective, that it's nearly impossible to imagine a developer's day without it. It’s the golden key for duplicating a line of code in most IDEs like IntelliJ or VS Code. Here’s the magic: instead of copying a line manually with your mouse, or worse, copying and pasting, Cmd + D will instantly duplicate the line your cursor is on, keeping you focused on your coding rather than on repetitive tasks. This one shortcut saves you precious seconds, and over the course of a day, those seconds add up. Want to quickly test variations of code? Need to create multiple copies of a similar structure for quick editing? Cmd + D is your secret weapon. You can even duplicate whole blocks of code, making this shortcut indispensable when you need to make changes across multiple lines. It’s fast, it’s effective, and it keeps you in the zone, not bouncing between your keyboard and the mouse. Just imagine: your workflow uninterrupted, code appearing exactly where you need it, as if by magic. If you haven’t been using Cmd + D yet, it’s time to make this shortcut your new best friend.
