Visual Studio Code – In VSCode, is there a shortcut to move the cursor to the beginning of the line, but after indentation?

For example, I want to move the cursor to before x but after the space before x(like the default behavior of JetBrains IDEs). When I use Ctrl+a in macOS, it move to the left of first space.

fn main() {
    // TODO: Add the missing keyword.
    x = 5;

    println!("x has the value {x}");
}

    As I guess, VS Code does not support that functionality directly. But we can config that feature in keybindings.json.

    Then, you may opend the keybindings.json file locates on /Code/User/keybindings.json on macOS, and add custom script

    {
    "key": "cmd+l",
    "command": "cursorMove",
    "args": {
        "to": "wrappedLineFirstNonWhitespaceCharacter"
    },
    "when": "editorTextFocus"
}

    to the end of the file.

    According to this you can press CMD + L to move the cursor to the first non-whitespace character of a line. And, also you can customize the script with cursorMove command using args. You can browse args here VS Code keybindings docs.
