I used to have an old VSCode version, where i used ctrl+tab to navigate through recently opened tabs.
when i pressed the combination a dropdown will appear where i could see the recently opened tabs. Then, if i pressed ctrl+tab again, it would cycle through those tabs.
Recently, I updated VSCode to a newer version. Now, if i press ctrl+tab the dropdown appears like it used to. But, when i press it again, it doesn't cycle through tabs anymore. Instead, it will open the last tab that I've accessed.
I've tried :
uninstalling
reinstalling
removing the setting an reinstalling the older version
But still, that ctrl+tab functionality seems gone. can you help me restore it?
Check your keyboard shortcuts. Find the command:
workbench.action.quickOpenNavigateNextInEditorPicker
By default it is set to Ctrl-Tab, if yours is not, set it that keybinding by clicking on the pencil icon to the left of the command on hover and enter Ctrl-Tab into the dialog box.
That command should also be using the when clauses: inEditorsPicker && inQuickOpen

I used to be able to be able to Ctrl+F to search whatever was logged in VS Code. Now, for some unknown reason, the search bar doesn't show up when I type in Ctrl+F.
I am on version 1.57, which is the latest at this time.
This question if for the Debug Console which isn't the tab I am looking at.
Click anywhere inside the output panel, and then press Ctrl + F
I realized that the Vim extension is what is causing this. Ctrl+F is for scrolling and although previously Vim keyboard shortcuts didn't work in the output panel, they seem to have been extended to it recently see this issue I raised.
A few weeks ago, refactoring code using F2 worked without any confirmation. Since a few days, however, using F2 opens up a "Refactor preview" tab in the bottom panel.
The refactoring will not be done until I manually check what I want to refactor, and click the checkmark at the top right.
I cannot find anything online or in the vscode settings. Can this be disabled so that the refactoring automatically proceeds like it used to?
Are you accidentally pressing Shift + Enter after renaming?
This behavior should only happen after you press F2, change the name of the item, and then press Shift + Enter. Pressing only enter should automatically perform the rename without the refactor preview tab opening. The rename box states this:
In case its not clear, here is a video that illustrates this.
Note: This solution is only for c/c++ case. The reason is that C/C++ extension is doing bad in analyzing the code and relies on user to determine which ones to rename, then the preview panel is poped up for this.
Try disable Editor > Rename: Enable Preview in settings, and then restart vscode.
If the problem still exists, try replace C/C++ extension's intellisense with clangd:
Install clangd extension in vscode;
Disable C/C++ extension's intellisense by adding this to settings.json:
"C_Cpp.intelliSenseEngine": "Disabled"
Then vscode will adopt clangd's intellisense, which renames without a preview.
Uninstalling C/C++ extension is NOT recommended because intergrated gdb will be lost, but you can try lldb as a substitude:
Install CodeLLDB extension in vscode;
Configure cmake's default debug type to lldb in settings.json:
"cmake.debugConfig": {
"type": "lldb"
}
Per docs, we can split Visual Studio Code's terminal into tabs by keyboard shortcut CTRL+SHIFT+5.
But, if we want to remove one of the added pane, how to do that?
remove last pane ?
remove first (or even the "in-between" tabs) ?
Click the trash icon next to the drop-down, it will remove the active pane leaving the other ones alone
Setup:
VSCode 1.50.1
MacOS High Sierra (10.13.6) - but I think this applies to any OS
Steps to Reproduce:
this is a quick simple one...
click on/hghlight/open a markdown file (.MD extension) in VSCode / from the Explorer tree hierarchy in the Left Nav Pane,
hit SHIFT-COMMAND-V per numerous instructional posts/tutorials - (you can also find the shortcut clearly labeled with that very same Shortcut Key-Combo:
if you RIGHT-CLICK on the file in question...
you will get a Context Menu with several options, include Markdown Preview
hitting the stated key combo of SHIFT-COMMAND-V does nothing,i.e.:
no observable effect in current window or tab
does not open any other tabs
does not render markdown
BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING:
--
This may seem STUPID/OBVIOUS to most of you... I think I was still asleep when I first tried this... so:
make sure that your cursor is ACTIVE in your .MD markdown document, and NOT active on the filename in the Explorer
Tree in the left-hand Nav
apparently, in VSCode this shortcut SHIFT-COMMAND-V only works when you are ACTIVELY EDITING the file.
using the mouse on the RIGHT-CLICK context menu works fine
even if the .MD file isn't open AT ALL / in ANY EDITOR
even if you're actually actively editing A DIFFERENT FILE, if you hover over the filename in the Explorer/File-Folder Hierarchy,
RIGHT-CLICK and launch Mark Preview, it will work.
Quick Solution:
You most likely have a VSCode "Extension" installed and enabled within VSCode that is blocking the default VSCode shortcuts
in my case, this was Atom Keymap Extension (Here's link to extension in VS Marketplace)
IN VSCode, go to Extensions, find (you can search in the search bar at the top of the Extensions list/Nav Pane) Atom Keymap and UNINSTALL IT
alternately, you can just simplt DISABLE IT if you prefer to use it another time.
restart VSCode
SHIFT-COMMAND-V shortcut SHOULD BE WORKING NOW!
Troubleshooting:
Key Combo not recognized in VSCode (at least in VSCode, see#2 if blocked elsewhere)
If you look at the very bottom-middle/bottom-right of the VSCode window, you will notice the Status Bar (by default the whole bar is bright blue with white text)..
the status bar has several different sections, symbols, and text messages...
you will notice it changes/will indicate when you press a VALID Key-Combo... and that SHIFT-COMMAND-V literally does not result in ANY message on the status bar
But hitting COMMAND-V for instance is reflected in a real-time corresponding message in the status bar telling you that you DID press COMMAND-V
It appears NOT for any Key-Combo that includes SHIFT isn't recognized
confirm it's a VSCode thing only
go to your MacOS System Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts > look through each category of shortcuts - you should NOT SEE a key mapping for SHIFT-COMMAND-V
When i open up vscode in the panel, PROBLEMS tab is missing. I tried uninstalling/purging vscode (including it's config and extensions) and still the same problem.
I managed to solve it by purging every vscode directory and file, restarting computer and then downloading the vscode .dpkg file from their official website (i didn't use apt-get, or snap). Something like this: https://dzone.com/articles/install-visual-studio-code-on-ubuntu-1804
Its Simple just go on 'View' section at top and select 'Problems' or press 'Ctrl + Shift + M' and it will get added automatically and if still doesn't work then on left panel there is 'Extension' tab below that will be 'Problems' Tab (which is not in your Screenshot means first opiton should work) just drag it to the Terminal Panel.
