+# Getting started with VsCode
+
+VsCode is an powerful text editor, hidden behind a simple interface.
+
+## Keyboard shortcuts
+VsCode supports various **keyboard shortcuts**, the most important for us are:
+
+| Shortcut      | Action                       |
+| ------------- | ---------------------------- |
+| `cmd+N`       | create a new file            |
+| `cmd+S`       | save the current file        |
+| `cmd+O`       | open a file                  |
+| `cmd+P`       | use quickpick to open a file |
+| `cmd+shift+P` | invoke a command (see below) |
+
+For more information, see the [vscode keyboard cheat sheets](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/getstarted/keybindings#_keyboard-shortcuts-reference), where you can also see how to customize your keybindings.
+
+## Commands
+Commands make VsCode extremely powerful.
+
+To invoke a command, press `cmd+shift+P` and select the command you want to execute.
+For example, to see the Foam graph:
+- press `cmd+shift+P`
+- start typing `show graph`
+- select the `Foam: Show Graph` command
+
+And watch the magic unfold.
+
+For more information on commands, see [commands on the VsCode site](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/getstarted/userinterface#_command-palette).
+

+
+## Panels

+You can see a few panels on the left, including:
+- `Outline`: this panel shows you the structure of the file based on the headings
+- `Tag Explorer`: This shows you the tags in your workspace, see [[tags-and-tag-explorer]] for more information on tags
+
