Quickfix in VS Code

What's your workflow for whenever those red squigglies appear in Visual Studio Code?
Do you jump over to that line, click the lightbulb (or even better, Ctrl+. or ⌘+.) and apply the suggested fix?

Well, no more!

You can create a shortcut or even a vim keybinding to apply the first quickfix suggestion.

##Shortcut

Open your keybindings configurations (open the command palette (Ctrl+Shift+P) and search for Preferences: Open Keyboard Shortcuts (JSON)), and add the following entry:

1{
2	"key": "cmd+k cmd+x", // Or any other keybinding you prefer.
3	"command": "editor.action.codeAction",
4	"args": {
5			"kind": "quickfix",
6			"apply": "first"
7	}
8}
9

##Vim keybinding

Open your user settings (open the command palette (Ctrl+Shift+P) and search for Preferences: Open User Settings (JSON)) and add the following entry:

1{
2	"before": [
3		"<leader>",
4		"x",
5		"x"
6	], // Or any other keybinding you prefer.
7	"commands": [
8		{
9			"command": "editor.action.codeAction",
10			"args": {
11				"kind": "quickfix",
12				"apply": "first"
13			}
14		}
15	]
16}
17

The workspace settings file could also work, of course.
Doesn't have to be the user settings file.

##Extra: Jumping to the next error

To jump to the next error, you could add the following keybinding (to keybindings.json):

1{
2	"key": "cmd+k cmd+n", // Or any other keybinding you prefer.
3	"commands": [
4		"editor.action.marker.nextInFiles"
5	]
6}
7

Or for vim (settings.json):

1{
2  "before": ["<leader>", "n"], // Or any other keybinding you prefer.
3  "commands": ["editor.action.marker.nextInFiles"]
4}
5
