Create cheatsheets for VS Code and terminal #201

Open alinagraham opened 1 year ago

alinagraham commented 1 year ago

What

Create cheatsheets for VS Code and the terminal, how-to's and tips for coding, and shortcuts if needed (following on from #200)

Why

New users lack confidence, particularly in the set up process. Technical jargon is difficult to understand. New users do not know some of the basics for using programs such as VS Code Users are not sure how to open folders within Code editor

Who needs to work on this

Found this VS Code cheat sheet. We can discuss whether we want to write our own or link to this in the docs: https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/getstarted/tips-and-tricks

I've written a VS code cheat sheet based on questions that new user's asked during training and user research sessions. It would be good to get a content writer's eyes on it before adding it to the guides. Happy to pair on that with @oli-rose28 and/or @joelanman

For the other aspect of this ticket - do we have any more information on what people find difficult when using the terminal?
