VSCode how to add keyboard shortcut for staging selected lines

There is a Stage Selected Lines button for Git, but is there a way to add a keyboard shortcut for it?

It is too much trouble having to click twice (three dots > Stage Selected Lines).

In case anyone is still looking for this:

The commands stageSelectedRanges, unstageSelectedRanges, revertSelectedRanges have been introduced a while ago. Note that there is currently a related bug in VSCode: the diff view does not refresh after a partial stage - but apart from that it works like a charm.

This is how I set it up in my keybindings:

{
  "key": "s",
  "command": "git.stageSelectedRanges",
  "when": "isInDiffEditor && editorTextFocus"
},
{
  "key": "u",
  "command": "git.unstageSelectedRanges",
  "when": "isInDiffEditor && editorTextFocus"
},
{
  "key": "r",
  "command": "git.revertSelectedRanges",
  "when": "isInDiffEditor && editorTextFocus"
}

vscode recently removed the default keybindings for this, so it's great to see this answer! – Radial 21/12, 2022 at 3:53

git.revertSelectedRanges is more like "discard" - has nothing to do with git revert, does not work in read-only text buffers – Radial 21/12, 2022 at 4:12

The accepted answer didn't work for me so I raised a ticket on GitHub:

When condition for Source Control View for better keybindings #99683

The following did:

{
  "key": "ctrl+a",
  "command": "git.stageAll",
  "when": "sideBarFocus && activeViewlet == 'workbench.view.scm'"
},
{
  "key": "ctrl+s",
  "command": "git.stage",
  "when": "sideBarFocus && activeViewlet == 'workbench.view.scm'"
},
{
  "key": "ctrl+u",
  "command": "git.unstage",
  "when": "sideBarFocus && activeViewlet == 'workbench.view.scm'"
},

UPDATE:

I was also able to get single keys working via the addition of the listFocus attribute:

{
  "key": "s",
  "command": "git.stage",
  "when": "listFocus && sideBarFocus && activeViewlet == 'workbench.view.scm'"
},

Whoever answered that issue must be amazingly brilliant!! – Incised 10/6, 2020 at 19:3

Wow! Thank you for sharing this. This is exactly what was missing for me to use VSCode. – Ahab 16/6, 2020 at 7:43

Visual Studio Code gives you the ability to bind a keyboard shortcut for staging an entire file (workbench.action.git.stage command).

As far as I know, there is no (publicly documented) workbench command for staging selected lines, thus we have nothing to bind a keyboard shortcut to.

Thanks! Where do you find the documentation for all the shortcuts? There are some shortcuts key bindings in this page, but I can't find any shortcuts related to git. – Carden 1/9, 2016 at 23:26

Unfortunately, I don't have any one specific place to look. Most all of my Visual Studio Code answers are written from my own knowledge, with references to any relevant documents. – Pascual 5/9, 2016 at 15:5

Update: there is now a command for staging selected lines; keyboard shortcuts can be assigned. "You can still use it from the command palette and/or assign a keyboard shortcut to it. Just search for Git: Stage Selected Ranges / Git Unstage Selected Ranges, commands to bind are git.stageSelectedRanges / git.unstageSelectedRanges." – Carden 3/5, 2017 at 8:55
