Whenever I use Visual Studio Code in the browser (for me that’s always at GitHub.dev) I can’t figure out to put the focus in the address bar using a keyboard shortcut ( typically I want to do this so I can get back to GitHub.com). Usually I use CMD-L to put the focus in the address bar but it seems that gets intercepted by VSCode.
Surely I can’t be the only one frustrated by this? And idea how to put the focus back in the address bar using a keyboard shortcut?
I'm frustrating the same problem. I now use "Open Permalink in Github" from the command pallet but there might be a better way.

Earlier The Panel of vscode used to close when I killed the terminal. But after I reset my pc and reinstall vscode, this is not happening. I after killing all the terminals I have to click on the "Close Panel" Button to close it.
How can I close the panel automatically on killing the last terminal?
Thanks for help in advance.
So the lower panel (or right/left panel if you moved it) should always automatically close if the terminal-view has had all of its terminals closed.
Now, with the above said, their is one exception, which is a common exception: When you show there panel with a view — i.e. the problems view, output-logger, etc... — with the terminal-view, the behavior of the panel changes. In the context I just described, the panel will not automatically close.
To solve the issue, remove all other views that share the panel with the terminal view. Then you should find that you get the expected behavior.
FYI, this has worked this way for a long time, and a while back (2+ years ago) there was a somewhat supported feature request to make the closing behavior of the panel more configurable — e.g. like adding settings that close the panel when the terminal-view has no terminals open, even if it is in a shared panel — however, I checked all settings & release notes and GitHub before answering this, and it appears that the panel & terminal view, in the context of this question, still behave the way that they always have since the first newer release of the non-beta VS Code.
I made an error yesterday when I was editing for a web contest, but no matter how hard I tried to send those edits to GitHub, I had to try the options in VS as usual to solve various problems. But I pressed an option without thinking and the E light disappears in the image below. Now I do not know how to return it.
And now my VS is like this
Open Settings using the shortcut Ctrl + ,
Search for "Workbench Status Bar" and look for the following option
Tick this checkbox
I am new to VSCode, long been a holdout with Powershell ISE. I am in a situation where I am doing more with PS7, so have no choice but to use it. The one thing that I cannot seem to find is a way to permanently disable the sidebar. Every time I run a script the stupid thing pops up, and I have to hit CTRL+B to close it. I have tried going into Powershell language specific settings, but the only option I see is sidebar.location.
Is there any way to permanently stop this from popping up?
Here is the solution:
go to settings
search for Debug: Open Debug
choose never open
Allow me just say this. I too use VSCode, Sapien's PS Studio, and the ISE more than the previous two, but also use PowerShell v7.
So, FYI... You do have a choice, You can use PowerShell v7 from the ISE. I do this every day. Well, it's a workaround to do so, but it works just fine.
Here is one of the ways to use PowerShell v7 in the ISE.
Using PowerShell Core 6 and 7 in the Windows PowerShell ISE
The other way I use it is just shelling/branching out to it as needed.
Yet, your question is really a duplicate of this Q&A.
Is there a shortcut to hide the sidebar in Visual Studio Code?
And these potential answers...
you can hide the activity bar by setting up your own keybinding
(code.visualstudio.com/docs/customization/keybindings) for
workbench.action.toggleActivityBarVisibility
and or
In the VS code version 1.43, you can hide or show the side menu or
activity bar by going under the 'VIEW' tab in the nav bar in the top
margin of VS CODE(called the 'Menu Bar'). Go to View => Appearance,
there you can check or uncheck different nav bars to show/hide each
one.
If you have the top bar (Menu Bar) currently hidden press 'alt' key to
bring it back then follow above instructions to check it to keep it
there permanently if desired.
The thing to remember though is, that sidebar is your file/project explorer and as such critical for normal development. It's how you get to all your files. Sure, you can still get to them using F1 and type a name, but that's kind of painful, vs scrolling to find what you need or opening multiple files in a project at once.
There is one weird menu which i need to get rid of. Even when I split vscode environment into more pages (two,three...) it creates this menu for every page area. I have not even find what is the name of this menu, much less how to hide it. Please, does anyone at least know what is the name of this menu?
Those are source control buttons, try to uncheck some of these.
There is an addin for Visual Studio called MouseNavi that allows you to use mouse thumb buttons to navigate your history.
Does a similar extension exist for Eclipse?
I don't know of any Eclipse plugin that does this, but assuming you're using Windows:
This one should enable you to do what you want: http://www.highrez.co.uk/downloads/XMouseButtonControl.htm
With that tool you can assign each mouse button a sequence of keys (Alt+Left for example) and because it can be made application specific it won't interfere with other programs where you don't want that mapping.
Alt+Left and Alt+Right to navigate through the latest opened editors.
Also, Alt+L to open up the shortcuts popup, so you can see what's available.
No real mouse navigation control though (not that I know of... at least). Although, should not be very difficult to create one and attach it to the same handlers that deal with the navigation commands.
^Q takes you to last edited location. You can cycle using it. No mouse bindings.
