Due to me using alt+- and alt+shift+- as undo/redo, macOS's which are macOS' default keybindings for typing en-dash and em-dash, I need an alternative way to insert them when needed. This solution uses a combo of the macros and aliases extensions to achieve it. It's a bit of a dirty hack, but works for now. At a later day I'll look for a solution that lets me define and add custom commands.
jimeh's VSCode configuration (vscode-siren)
This is my personal configuration for VSCode and VSCode-based editors like Cursor and Windsurf, and is heavily geared towards recreating the text editor experience I have in Emacs with my config.
The "vscode-siren" nickname is based on the the "Emacs Siren" nickname of my Emacs config.
Focus has primarily been around using this with Cursor, but does work in Windsurf and regular VSCode as well.
Features
- Emacs-ish inspired keybindings - Based on the configuration from emacs-siren, which is my personal highly customized Emacs configuration.
- Modern UI - Customized window behavior with native macOS tabs, allowing for a single-window multi-workspace experience with accompanying keybindings.
- Automatic dark/light theme switching - Dark theme (One Dark Pro) and light theme (Solarized Light) with automatic switching based on system preferences.
- Custom snippets - Some pre-configured snippets for Go and Ruby.

It can create symlinks for settings, keybindings, and snippets,
as well as dump extension lock files and install extensions from them.
In examples below, we will be using cursor as the editor.
Symlink config files to Default profile

Install Extensions
This will install all extensions from the extensions.<EDITOR>.lock file:

Or if you want install the latest versions rather than those from the lock file:
