What is the shortcut to create an HTML file in VS Code?

There isn't a dedicated shortcut to create a new HTML file directly within VS Code. However, you can achieve this easily using the following methods:

Creating a New File:

1. Use the "New File" command: Press Ctrl+N (Windows/Linux) or Cmd+N (macOS) to create a new, empty file.
2. Save the file as an HTML file: After creating the file, use Ctrl+S (Windows/Linux) or Cmd+S (macOS) to save the file. In the "Save As" dialog box, type the desired file name, followed by .html (e.g., index.html).

Creating a New File with a Template:

1. Use the "Create File" command: Right-click in the VS Code explorer panel and select "Create File".
2. Type the file name: Enter the desired file name, including the .html extension. VS Code will automatically create the file.

Using the "Create HTML File" Extension:

1. Install the "Create HTML File" extension: Search for "Create HTML File" in the VS Code Extensions Marketplace and install it.
2. Use the command: After installing the extension, you can use the command palette (Ctrl+Shift+P or Cmd+Shift+P) to search for "Create HTML File" and execute it. This will create a new HTML file with a basic structure.

Practical Tip:

• You can customize the default code snippet for HTML files in VS Code by navigating to File > Preferences > Settings (Windows/Linux) or Code > Preferences > Settings (macOS) and searching for "emmet.includeVariables".

By following these steps, you can easily create new HTML files in VS Code.
