We often don’t work with all the files in the project at once we simultaneously work with two, maybe three at most. We can use ctrl + p ( ⌘ + p), which opens up a search bar where we type in either a filename ( ) or a full path ( src/services/).
There’s also a slightly different approach to selecting files that are farther in the list from the one currently open. Note that this will only work when VSC has access to the whole folder, and only when you are working with an open folder - not individual files. We can also switch between consecutive tabs with ctrl + page up / page down (by default, this command isn’t defined on macOS). If we create more views by splitting the editor, we use ctrl + 2 ( ⌘ + 2), ctrl + 3 ( ⌘ + 3), and so on for the respective views. The code view can be focused by using ctrl + 1 ( ⌘ + 1). Using the enter key, we open a selected folder or file.īy default, there are two views: the explorer panel and the code view. We navigate the panel using the up and down arrows. To focus the explorer panel we use ctrl + 0 ( ⌘ + 0). Also, it would be nice to focus different views without touching the mouse, too. We would like to change this without touching the mouse. Now we would like to focus the explorer panel. Having split the editor, we ended up with the same file open in multiple views. Alternatively, you can switch between tabs (and, by extension, between views) using ctrl + page up / page down ( ⌘ + page up / page down). You can switch between views using ctrl + 1 ( ⌘ + 1), ctrl + 2 ( ⌘ + 2), and so on. There’s no limit to how many times you can split the editor, but I doubt you will ever want to have more than three views open it is just not practical beyond that. To split the editor, you can use ctrl + \ ( ⌘ + \). Unless you are working on a very small screen, chances are you split your IDE into two or three views to switch more smoothly between files. Go ahead, open Visual Studio Code and let’s get started. Here, I would like to present some of the shortcuts that I have found to best increase productivity. Recently, I wanted to limit mouse usage when programming in Visual Studio Code since I found interacting with the IDE through a cursor distracting and a major flow-breaker - so, I tried navigating VSC with keyboard alone.
