I was wondering if there was any way to repalce multiple line in multiple files at the same time?
I know under edit->Find in Files
this will show all the desires lines in all the files, however you have to raeplce them one by one, anyone way to just like REPLACE ALL?
Open the folder containing the files wished to be edited via Visual
Studio Code. If not exist, create a folder and fill up it with the files.
At the top-menu bar Edit - Replace in Files or (On Windows Ctrl + ⇧ + H, On Mac, ⌘ + ⇧ + H).
You can also Search and Replace across files. Expand the Search widget to display the Replace text box.
When you type text into the Replace text box, you will see a diff display of the pending changes. You can replace across all files from the Replace text box, replace all in one file or replace a single change.

At the current time this is not supported (read in the link at Common Questions)
https://code.visualstudio.com/Docs/editor/codebasics#_common-questions
I suggest you to try with Notepad++
Replace in multiple files is supported in latest version of vscode 1.3.

I tried to select the word that want to replace for multiple times and it did not. Finally I had to close the eclipse and start it.**
Rename (Alt+Shift+R) is a refactoring option. E.g. this could be used to rename a class or a method without renaming classes/methods with the same name but in different packages/classes if it was selected.
To search replace words in Eclipse within a single file, the replace option is there in the Find/Replace dialog that shows when you press Ctrl+F.
To search replace across files, go to Search/Search (Ctrl+H), and look for the File Search tab at the top (you normally need to scroll the tabs to the left to see it). This will let you search across a range of files, and then replace those matches.
I have a project with a lot of files and folders. There are no problems with finding files. They can be found with Ctrl-P. But there are many folders in which files with the same name are made. Therefore, it is easier to search for a file by the name of the folder in which it is located. How in VS Code to search for folders in the current open project?
For example, I have the following project structure:
A/
main.js
B/
main.js
...
Z/
main.js
The file main.js from the folder P will be easier to find by the folder name.
While using Ctrl-P, you can type the full path of the file, so if i have two files named bar you can search on Ctrl-P with
"foo/bar" or with "qux/bar"
Vscode uses fuzzy search (like so many others), so you don't have to actually type the whole thing.
There is no way, to my knowledge and research, to find and be directed to a specific directory.
You can simply select a folder on the explorer and tape some filter keywords.
Recently, vscode added a shortcut, if you are using a recent release just typing won't work, first tape ctrl + f.
Ctrl + Shift + E
and start typing. You'll see your search on the top right corner of file explorer.
By default it does not filter by result but your focus will jumps to the first one. From there you can Enter to open it.
If you want to show only results containing the string of search : click on filter icon next to your search (state will be remembered).
Echap
to exit/remove search
or
Ctrl + Shift + E
again to switch back focus to last place you were typing.
This VSCode extension does exactly what you're asking for.

I found a way to search through subfolders. Click on a folder you wish to search, than / and start typing for a name of subfolder
It's simple. Just open the parent folder of your folder in VSCode. Then right-click on the folder you want to find subfolder in and choose "Find in folder"
Env
Ubuntu 16.04
Visual Studio Code v 1.2.1
Problem
I can search occurrences in all files by Ctrl + Shift + F
However, I can't find a way to search and replace occurrences in all files.
Is this a missing(or hidden) feature in Visual Studio Code.
Visual Studio Code v 1.3.0++ has this feature:
Replace functionality can be accessed:
In the Search View by expanding the Search textbox
Using Ctrl + Shift + H, from the Edit | Replace in Files menu
Using Replace in Files command in the Command Palette
VS Code also supports capturing groups when using regex, captured groups (using parenthesis) can be referenced with $1 for the first match, $2 the second etc. $0 returns the complete match.
Reversing "abc"
Appending "def"
It's currently not possible to replace in all files. The good news is it's part of the June Iteration Plan. The feature has already passed a couple of tests. So it will be probably released in July 2016.
As an enhancement, VSCode 1.70 supports search and replace in all selected files, solving the 2018 issue 47166 "Make search tree context menu multiselect-aware".
See PR 154847 (available today in VSCode insiders)
Make search tree context menu multiselect-aware
When multiple entries are selected, if someone removes/replaces on one selected item, it happens to everything.
Note: if a whole file (uses Replace All) and entry (just uses Replace) are both selected at once and either Replace or Replace All is used, whatever replace action is valid for all selected item will run.
For example, if a file and entry are all selected and the Replace button is selected on the entry, then Replace All will be run on the file and Replace will be run on the entry.
Example:
All File:
Search = Ctrl + Shift + F
Replace = Ctrl + Shift + H
One File:
Search = Ctrl + F
Replace = Ctrl + H
Let's say I've got the following code
<div class="footer">
<div>Foo</div>
</div>
How can I change .footer from a div element to a footer element?
That is, if I have the cursor in div I'm looking for a keyboard shortcut that selects the opening and closing tags of an element. I believe I've used emmet to do this before in Sublime, but I can't seem to find similar functionality in Code. (Ideally this would work in JSX files too...)
Do you want to rename the paired tags? If yes, there is a much easier way: you just need to install the Auto Rename Tag extension. When you rename one HTML tag, it will automatically rename the paired HTML tag.
V1.41 is adding this functionality, see https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-docs/blob/vnext/release-notes/v1_41.md#html-rename-tags
HTML rename tags
You can now use F2 to rename the opening/closing tag pairs in HTML.
F2 when the cursor is over one of the tags and you will get a little input box with the cursor to input the new tag name and the start/end tags will be replaced with whatever you type upon .
See https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-docs/blob/vnext/release-notes/v1_42.md#html-mirror-cursor-off-by-default
Also of interest might be the "mirror tags" functionality just added in v1.41 as well (https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-docs/blob/vnext/release-notes/v1_41.md#html-mirror-cursor):
Clicking inside a tag will create another cursor in the matching start or end tag.
VS Code now adds a "mirror cursor" when you are editing HTML tags.
This behavior is controlled by the setting
html.mirrorCursorOnMatchingTag, which is on by default.
---------- v1.42 is changing the default status of the mirror cursor:
HTML Mirror Cursor off by default
We have made Mirror Cursor an opt-in feature. In the upcoming
iteration, we'll continue to improve its implementation to make this
feature more easily understandable and available to more languages.
You can still use this feature by turning on
html.mirrorCursorOnMatchingTag.
Thanks to JerryGoyal's answer below (I have upvoted it) - I have continued with this ongoing answer.
Because I have been tracking this for over half a year now, v1.44 has renamed this once again. From Synced Regions:
Synced Regions
We have improved the mirror cursor feature introduced last November
with a new implementation called Synced Regions. Currently this
feature is available for HTML and you can try it out by one of the
following ways:
Running the command On Type Rename Symbol on an HTML tag (bound to
Ctrl+Shift+F2 by default).
Turning on the editor.renameOnType setting and move the cursor to an HTML tag.
The red regions are Synced Regions. As their name suggests, any change
in one region will be synced to other regions. You can exit this mode
by either moving your cursor out of the regions or pressing ESC.
Additionally, typing or pasting any content leading with a whitespace
in any region exits this mode.
We look forward to providing an API that could make this
rename-on-type experience available to other languages such as JSX,
XML, or even local variables in TypeScript.
As that last part notes, it works in html out of the box but other languages need to implement themselves. As of June 2020 by my testing it still does not work in jsx files on embedded html tags.
You must enable this in your settings, it is off by default.
You can do this without an extension using Emmet Update Tag
Place your cursor in the opening tag
Press CTRL+SHIFT+P to open the command palette
Search for "Emmet: Update Tag" by typing something such as "em up t", and/or find it in the list
Press enter to select "Emmet: Update Tag"
Enter the new tag
Press enter
The opening and closing tag are updated to the new one.
Update Mar 2021:
No need for extension, this is now cooked into VSCode.
"editor.linkedEditing": true

CTRL + D on windows. As mentioned by #tataata, CMD + D on Mac OS. Not limited to tag renaming. Very useful.
You can use a key shortcut cmd + D (Mac OS) for adding to the selection the next matching element and then there is a possibility to edit open and closing tags simultaneously.
I'm using tag-rename. Press F2 on the tag and it renames the start and close tags.

No need to write config codes, just enable it from settings page.
I am writing a little bit of documentation and code explanation. I would like to copy code from eclipse including line numbers, so that it becomes easier to reference the code in the text.
Is there any way to do this in eclipse or some other IDE, editor?
Since Eclipse 3.4 and bug 19602, you will print the line numbers if you have activated them on the Eclipse editor.

Printing a source will give you:
alt text http://img341.imageshack.us/img341/9899/eclipseprint.png
You can do it by printing a PDF of source file, then copying source with line numbers from the PDF document.
It works for me with eclipse PDT + CutePDF, it should also work with Acrobat PDF printer
Another not-so-clean work-around to achieve this. This is specific to the Subversive plug-in.
3 steps to follow:
Delete the piece of code you need to copy and save the source file.
Right click the file and chose option Team -> Create Patch.. and save it to a file, say copy.patch
Undo (Ctrl + Z) the changes to revert the deletion done in step 1 and save the source file again.
Open the patch file and use the contents.
This also includes the file-name (if desired) along with the line number and retains the indentation.
