How to create a project in visual studio code?

Hello everyone!
I'm trying to start using the vs code with the salesforce extensions, but I'm having some trouble trying to make it work. I was following the demo of this video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hXST9yOyQLk&t=347s
But my vs code does not work as it is shown in the video, when I press the ctrl+shit+p and start writing sfdx, it doesn't have the options as it is in the video.
I already downloaded and installed Salesforce CLI in this link:
https://developer.salesforce.com/tools/sfdxcli
I have also installed all Salesforce extensions for vs code, including the "Salesforce CLI integration for Visual Studio Code", but I am not being able to create my project and understand how to use the vs code.
Someone please help me? I really want to start using this IDE, also if someone knows a good video or article about first steps in vs code with salesforce please let me know because I'm also having some trouble to find a good explanation about it's functionalities.

I appreciate any help!

I have the mavensmate too, I use it with the Sublime Text 3. I even installed the mavensmate extension for vs code, but I would like to use the salesforce dx and it's not working on vs code!

Here is the Quick Start guid to Visual STudio Code for Salesforce Development for those people who read this and are also looking for help.

FYI, I was having problem with the trailhead because I followed it literally.
I wanted to post this to possibly help others that may also have this same issue.

It says in Authenticate to Your Playground "To accept the default login URL, press Enter". However, for a reason that illudes me right now, the default did not link to my one and only sandbox. So I had to select "Sandbox" and then continue from there.  It threw me for a loop for a minute. I then went into my sandbox and doublechecked that the field name was correct, as it was erroring on "Active__c". But, my field name is different "ltnadptn__Active__c". I had to update the code to test it.

I just checked and for CLI it says : For best results, do not install this extension directly. Install the complete Salesforce Extension Pack instead.
I would start with 'Salesforce Extension Pack' . The instructions here seem very complete https://medium.com/@medben/salesforce-extensions-for-vs-code-mavensmate-fbb522e3228

If everything fails, you may need to remove VS Code and reinstall.
