Thank you for your reply.

After a lot of research/reflection on my part, the solution you gave is possible but implies for me to create 1 jsx file by keyboard shortcut, I will have to create more than 80 jsx files even though it is much simpler to manage the everything in the same file with functions to avoid redundancy as well as for future…
