How to customize keyboard shortcuts in visual studio code?
For example I want to change Rename to Shift - F6 instead of F2
Go to menu Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts
Shortcut in windows its CTRL+k then CTRL+k
Shortcut in mac CMD+k then CMD+s
Search for the command that you are trying to customise short cut
Click on the edit button on the side(Pencil symbol)
Type your custom keyboard short cut and press Enter
Instructions for Windows:
Press Ctrl + K and then Ctrl + S and the Keyboard Shortcuts page will open.
Instructions for MacOS:
The corresponding shortcut is Cmd + K and then Cmd + S
Normally a new tab with title Keyboard Shortcuts will appear. You can modify any shortcut by pressing the edit icon left to the command name and assigning the desired shortcut.

This shortcut is suppose to Maximize or normalize the size of the terminal, but it only works when the mouse cursor is active outside the terminal.
It doesn't work when the typing caret is active inside the terminal.
Is there a workaround?
Just Go To Files > Preferences > Keyboard Shortcuts
Search for: View: Toggle Maximized Panel
Change The Keybind whatever you like
I set that to Ctrl + Alt + 1
for more information and more shortcuts see this link
I like the ctrl + click feature in the editor but having it in the terminal is a real pain.
I'm referring to the search feature when I click at any word that isn't a link.
I'm using VS Code on Ubuntu and by default, shortcuts for copy and past in Terminal are Ctrl + Shift + C and Ctrl + Shift + V. Is there any way to change these combinations?
Thanks!
click the manage icon in the bottom left corner
then click keyboard shortcuts type terminal in the search bar
This tells me that I could use ⌃ + Space combination in order to display suggestions for my code. However, ctrl + Space ( ^ key is ctrl as far as I know) only seems to change the input language keyboard in my system. Nothing else seems to work.
Try Option + Escape, on mac.
The mac keyboard shortcut ctrl + space for switching input sources overrides the VSCode one. Because of this, VSCode added a new keybinding just for mac, Option + Escape
This is actually called intellisense, and the new keyboard shortcut was added in the November 2019 update.
You can disable the macOS shortcut in System Preferences → Keyboard → Shortcuts.
Alternatively you can set up a custom keybinding for this command in VS Code, so that it no longer conflicts with your system shortcut. Please refer to the official documentation.
Recently, ⌘I (i.e. command + i) is also a by default key binding for triggering suggestions.
On MacOS Ventura,
Go to System Settings
Select Keyboard on the Left panel
Select "Keyboard Shortcuts"
Select Input Sources and toggle the switch labelled "Select the previous input source".
Quit vscode and relaunch
Can you anyone provide the shortcut for collapse all files in visual studio code explorer?
I personally prefer not to create new shortcuts. As #Mark pointed out on the answer of #JayChase there is an existing shortcut, but it requires the explorer to be in focus. Therefore I combine the shortcut mentioned by #JayChase with another standard shortcut, to get the desired behaviour.
command + 0 (focusses on explorer).
command + left-arrow
An additional benefit over this approach is that I usually want to focus on the explorer view if I want to collapse the folders.
Open the Keyboard Shortcut by pressing Ctrl + K then Ctrl + S and search for Collapse, you will see the Collapse Folders in Explorer key binding (It is empty by default). Press the + button to add your desired key binding.
Now you can enjoy your shortcut.
it's cmd/ctrl + shift + up-arrow
You can collapse all folders using cmd/ctrl left-arrow.
First, click anywhere in the explorer window to activate it, then use the shortcut.
On Windows and Linux.
Ctrl + Left arrow
On Mac:
⌘ + Left arrow
When the Explorer is active, you could use the Workbench list based shortcuts. list based shortcuts include collapse, collapse all, expand, expand all, toggle expand/collapse
To see what are the shortcuts open Keyboard Shorcuts -> Search for list. . Here you find shortcuts for collapse, collapse all, expand, expand all, toggle expand/collapse. These shortcuts work when the Explorer is active, as the Explorer works as a list.
Below is a screenshot for Mac.
If you would like to define a shortcut, without activating the Explorer, then I would recommend - cmd+k ctrl+c. You could add this by opening Keyboard Shorcuts -> Search for Collapse Folders in Explorer -> Click the edit button after hovering over the the Command you want to edit.
