Is that possible to open the file explorer when mouse hover on file explorer icon and close when it leaves the section?
when mouse cursor leave the file explorer section it auto close . is this kind of settings available in vscode?
As of today such a setting does not exist. You can subscribe to this open issue on the official repo for potential updates.
This extension will allow you to close the sidebar by clicking in your editor groups. I have not tested it.
Just press ctrl + B on your keyboard and explorer section get hide. And to get it back you have to press ctrl + shift + E or click on file explorer icon in activity bar

This is an extremely stupid question... but how do I close/toggle the search box in vscode?
I hit [ cmd + shift + f ] to do a global search, but then I need to reach for my mouse to actually close the box to allow for more screen space.
I've searched through their issues, and there seems to be another user in the past who also experienced something similar --> https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/32613 , but the solution provided of cmd - b only works for closing the sidebar.
My developer speed has drastically dropped since this issue, and I'm certain there's been a fix.
Please help. :(
**added in picture here -->
Press CTRL + SHIFT + E. It will switch to and focus the explorer.
Your search results are appearing in the panel, not the sidebar.
To toggle the panel:
pc/mac: ctrl + ` (backtick)
mac: ⌘ + J
However, if you want your search results to appear in the sidebar (which I think is the default behavior), then add this line to your settings:
"search.location": "sidebar"
Similar to what Vijey has mentioned, you can use the Toggle Panel keyboard shortcut which will do the job for me. On A mac the shortcut is
⌘ Command+J
I'm coming from sublime where the search results appear in a new tab - making it much easier to close the results (just like closing an other tab)
The best way to get rid of the search panel is by doing the following: -
On a windows computer, press and hold CTRL + Q
A window will then pop up, you can then release Q when the window pops up but you still have to hold down the CTRL key to keep the pop up open
3.Now use your mouse to click on the option called explorer and the search menu is now gone
There is no keyboard shortcut to close the search panel. However, you can create a shortcut yourself as shown in the attached image.
1) Go to File > Preferences > Keyboard Shortcuts.
2) Search for the command 'Close Panel' and set it to your convenient keyboard shortcut.
In the image below, I set it to Ctrl+F8.
If the search box displays in the sidebar (see Amr Noman's answer on how to set that up if it isn't already), How do you close the search box and go back to your project folders? In this case, there is no tab you can close with a click of the mouse. One way is to set up a keymap shortcut, e.g.
{
"key": "cmd+'",
"command": "workbench.files.action.showActiveFileInExplorer"
},
You can figure this out by going to Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts and searching for sidebar. One of the hits is described as "File: Reveal Active File in Side Bar"
More generally, any action that hides your project folder view in the sidebar can be cancelled by this shortcut.
If I search something in Visual Studio Code with Ctrl+Shift+F, the result appears in the SEARCH pane.
If I click or push Enter on an item, it will be opened in the editor window.
How can I jump to the next found item if the editor window is active, without using the mouse?
F4 and Shift-F4 will traverse your search results even if an editor window has focus.
If the search pane has focus the arrow keys will tab down to each found entry below the search widget and the file and location will be opened and highlighted as you go up and down. If the folder is closed, the right arrow will open it. And the left arrow will close it again. It is pretty slick actually.
And Ctrl+Shift+F gives focus back to the search pane and you can scroll through your old results (with the arrow keys or F4) even if another term was selected and populates the search input - as long as you don't hit enter - which would perform the new search.
I just started to use PhpStorm and wonder how I can enter full view for a single file?
In NetBeans I could just double click on the file:
...then the full view for that file was shown:
After double clicking on the file again, the normal view is shown again.
Is this also possible in JetBrains PhpStorm?
This is not currently possible.
https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-82829 -- watch this ticket (star/vote/comment) to get notified on any progress.
(P.S. This IDEA-166351 looks the same .. so may be marked as duplicate of the first ticket at some point).
To be clear: hiding all tool windows is easy (double click on editor tab or Window | Active Tool Window | Hide All Windows -- Ctrl + Shift + F12 using Default keymap) -- it's "Maximize current editor tab and hide all other tabs" what is missing (absent feature).
Yes, also on JetBrains IDEs (PhpStorm, WebStorm, etc.) is possible to double click on an editor tab to hide the rest of toolbars and sections and get a full clear view of the editor; then if you double click again on the editor tab, you can return to your previous IDE disposition.
Also you can use Ctrl + Shift + F12 combination to hide/show all tool windows. (see here: https://www.jetbrains.com/help/phpstorm/2016.3/manipulating-the-tool-windows.html#d883741e144)
I'm wondering if there is a shortcut for VS Code that highlights in solution explorer tree current opened file. Like we have in Visual Studio:
Alt + Shift + L
Couldn't live with no complete answer, so figured out the following:
Without a direct keyboard shortcut:
Open the command palette via Cmd-Shift-P (or Cmd+P then >) and type Files: Reveal Active File in Side Bar.
This reveals the active file in the side bar similar to Visual Studio's Alt+Shift+L
Then, take the above and map a keyboard shortcut to it:
Open keyboard shortcut preferences file via Cmd-Shift-P followed by Preferences: Open Keyboard Preferences File.
Add in the following (taking Visual Studio's lead, I've personally mapped it to Alt+Shift+L, but map to what you want).
// Place your key bindings in this file to overwrite the defaults
[
{
"key": "shift+alt+l",
"command": "workbench.files.action.showActiveFileInExplorer",
},
]
Note that it's not as good as Visual Studio, Atom, etc. in that you can't then navigate with arrow keys in the tree (arrow keys navigate the active file contents), but I guess I'll eventually figure out how to do that.
#Tomoyuki Aota points out that you can do the following to navigate with arrow keys:
After Files: Reveal Active File in Side Bar, press Ctrl+Shift+E (Show
Explorer). After that, I can navigate the files in the explorer by the
arrow keys.
I don't think there's a command for that, but there is a shortcut to enable/disable revealing the current file as you open it:
"explorer.autoReveal": true
Try this:
Together with #Rob's correct answer:
"explorer.autoReveal": true
then Ctrl-Shift-E (Show explorer) focuses that file in the explorer and the arrow keys will navigate up/down/left/right like any list. This works even if the explorer is closed prior to the Ctrl-Shift-E.
Ctrl-Shift-E has the added bonus in that it will toggle focus between the highlighted file and its editor as well.
For mac, use Cmd-Shift-E
Right-click the file tab (not necessarily current one) and click "Reveal in Side Bar".
I was able to achieve this by customizing the workbench.files.action.focusFilesExplorer command with keybinding Alt + shift + L
Open the Keyboard Shortcuts ctrl + K + shift + S
search for focusFilesExplorer command & customize
Provide your keybindings that you are used to - I set mine to Alt + Shift + L
F1 then type "reveal" also works from in VS Code, at least for me.
It looks like the actual version of VS Code offers a command for this feature now.
In the settings, type revealInExplorer in the search bar to find the command. There is no default keybinding, so just put your own. Works like a charm!
Download the open in browser extension, that's it.
Right click > Open in primary/secondary browser function appears, and the ALT+B / ALT+SHIFT+B shortcuts become available.
Had a similar case and ended up here looking for help.
I opened a file in "preview" mode after clicking a link in a .md file and wanted to know where this opened file was located in the project.
I found this button in the upper right corner of VS Code which was exactly what I wanted:
It's called "show source"
Also check "Explorer: Auto Reveal Exclude" patterns in VS Code settings. Files that fit any of the patterns will not be auto revealed in the Explorer tree.
Hi i many html editors in eclipse. each one provides different features.
Is there a way i can quickly switch the editor of current opened tab, ( other than open with option in the project explorer).
Lets say abc.html is currently open. but i want to open it in different editor. Now i have to search that file in the project explorer and then right click > open with. option.
OR
I use ctrl+shift+r to open any resource , it always opens in default editor. But i want to choose there which editor to open with" option there. :(. is there any shortcut for that?
I can well understand wanting to open stuff just using the keyboard.
I can think of 2 solutions:
1: CTRL + SHIFT + R (select file as normal) then (still in the Open Resource dialog) TAB, TAB, ENTER and then press the down arrow key until you get the right editor
2: Keep the Project Explorer 'Link with Editor' toggle on (a button on the top right of the Project Explorer View)
Now you can easily get from the file open in the editor to the correct place in the Project Explorer view (so you can right click on it).
Hope this helps!
(I also find CTRL + F7 a useful way of switching to the Project Explorer view from an editor)
