Does VS Code (I currently use v1.8.1) has any shortcut like ctrl+q in eclipse?
It returns your cursor to the place where you stopped writing code(very useful for fast code browsing)
and it is different to alt+left which navigate backward
EDIT: I have found that this extension should do that you're asking. I suggest trying it out.
Original:
Out of the box in VS Code, this command does not exist. The list of default shortcuts can be found here, or you can open the keybindings settings in VS Code (ctrl+k, ctrl+s on Windows) and see which commands are available.
If you'd like to suggest this as a feature, you can open a new issue on GitHub or consider creating an extension.
If I understand correctly, you want a command that will move the cursor to where the last edit in a document was made.
This should be possible using an extension that listens to document change events and records the position of the cursor. Then, when the command is issued, it sets the editors cursor to that saved position.
You can also try "Eclipse Keymap" from Alphabot Security, has a lot of eclipse bindings.
I don't believe there is a built-in way to do this, but you could work around it by using an extension such as https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=alefragnani.Bookmarks .

latest version 1.40.1 on Windows 7 x64. I am developing in Java.
The most common shortcut, "go to definition" F12 and "auto fix" ctrl+dot
I tested it on another computer with 1.40.1. It works properly.
I have follow the key binding troubleshooting guide. When I record my key ctrl+dot.
It shows ctrl+oem_period. Looks like the OS is sending the correct keys to VSCode.
I couldn't find a way to reset VSCode key bindings and do not know what is actually causing this.
What should I do next? Completely reinstall everything is the last resort.
With the command Developer: Toggle Keyboard Shortcuts Troubleshooting, you can see which command is linked to a shortcut. It could happen that an extension is overriding the expected behaviour.
For example, I had an extension overriding the shortcut to reopen a closed tab, which didn't work anymore.
This resolves my issue:
Change your "keyboard.dispatch" to keyCode in the file settings.json
{
"keyboard.dispatch": "keyCode"
}
Your operating system keyboard shortcut is overriding the vscode shortcut. You should check your operating system shortcut key instead.
Just restarted the Visual Studio Code and the keys are working fine.
I was facing the same problem after I updated my Intel Graphics Command Center using Windows Updates.
The Add One Cursor Above/Below shortcuts were not working for me.
I started the Intel Graphics Command Center, and then went to System > Hotkeys tab, Enabled System Hotkeys as shown in the picture below.
I flipped my screen a couple of times using the keyboard shortcuts and then disabled once again.
Then switched back to VSCode and the keyboard shortcuts were working!!
In my case, "cmd+k cmd+0" which helps to fold all regions was not working.
Another extension was using the same shortcut. I followed the steps below to fix it.
Here are the steps to fix this
Press "cmd+shift+p" to open command palette
Type "Preferences: Open Keyboard Shortcuts" and hit enter
Press "option+cmd+k" to start recording keys.
Press the short cut keys that are not working (in my case "cmd+k cmd+0" ). This will list all the instances of that shortcut keys. And there are probably multiple instances of the same keybindings with some of them being used by an "Extension" as shown under the "Source" column.
Remove that and keep only that instance which says "Default" under "Source" column.
Now, you should able to use the default keyboard shortcuts.
Resolved :
Facing similar issue. Several keyboard shortcuts stop working when code starts running.
In my case it was happening because of notepad++ extension. Disabling that extension resolves the issue.
Sometimes this can happen because of change in environment variables. Please check if any recent program installations has made that change
You may also need to check the when clause of the Keybinding. In my case, I was struggling with why "Command+R" wasn't reloading the window on my Mac. By right-clicking on the row of the relevant command in Keyboard Shortcuts, then clicking "Change When Expression" and removing the expression completely, the keybinding now works as expected.

Try turning on Num Lock, it worked for me.
Extensions you add to VSCode also can override the ordinary behavior of shortcuts. I faced to this problem, I've noticed that the ordinary shortcut command + L which selects the whole line, does not work, and the reason was Live Server extension, which overrides that shortcut, after its deletion shortcut became work properly
I have tried many methods to solve this problem ,not every problem of mine got solved so I use this method after I cant find the solution.
you can first uninstall the VS code and then delete the .vscode file from C=>user=>admin=>.vscode
after that reinstall vscode ,from my end its working fine after doing this.
My issue is niche but never know, might help someone - YouTube Music Desktop player app was hijacking cmd, shift + l for me.
In my case, my Ctrl keys were mapped to the Toggle extension and this extension could not overwrite one of my settings in the settings.json because I had pending changes that hadn't been saved. Once I saved the file, I was able to use the toggle keyboard binding again. I used the guidance from Martin above to determine the cause of the issue.
99% works.
Forget everything that may overrides your keyboard shortcuts. The problems is your keybindings.json file, if you fix it you'll fix your problem.
I found the solution and I've explained it in the following link:
Why vscode shortcuts don't work properly?
Woo, found my issue was Razor Naga stuff. After I updated some of the Razor apps (it has Synapse, Cortex, etc), this issue started happening. Now, I saw these apps are running in the background although I am not using the devices at this time, and once I quit them, VSCode went back to normal thankfully.
In my case, I have installed some "vim keyboard extensions" and others. so I have uninstalled all the extensions related to the "keyboard" i.e. "vim keyboard extension" and now it is working fine. it is recommended to check if you have downloaded any extensions for the "keyboard" in the extensions and uninstall it. It might solve the issue.
This worked for me to fix CTRL+Space "Trigger Suggest". First I found and disabled this setting in: System Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts > Input Sources
Then I followed #ryandidevar's instructions and replaced everything for Mac: https://stackoverflow.com/a/72187880/14353462
Finally, I set "Trigger Suggest" in VSCode > Preferences > Keyboard Shortcuts to: CTRL+§ (which is right next to my "Z" key). CTRL+Space just would not be accepted under any circumstance. Now hitting CTRL+§ finally brings up the suggestions!
MacOS users,
This is a default macOS shortcut. VSCode is never getting the meta+shift+L message from your OS. Your OS is hijacking it. You need to disable it.
System Settings > Keyboard > Shortcuts > Services > uncheck: Search with Google

This is a default macOS shortcut, you can disable it at System Settings | Keyboard | Shortcuts | Services| Search with Google.

I just deleted folder in %APPDATA%\Code\ resets whole vs code and fixed my problem with alt + b and other vs code shorcuts not working
For me, It is the keyboard layout setting that causes this. Use English US keyboard setting.
In vim I can search for a visually selected string using a number of techniques including what can be found here:
http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Search_for_visually_selected_text
Is there a way to do the same thing in VSCode with the Vim extension?
Right now, VsCodeVim doesn't support the command in search mode, so that keybinding isn't possible.
If you want to see that in the future, opening an issue at https://github.com/VSCodeVim/Vim/issues would help.
EDIT: https://github.com/bronson/vim-visual-star-search is implemented, so this functionality is now there.
according to the documentation here I can add multiple cursors in visual studio code by using alt+Click in the editor. Sadly alt+drag is already used by the window manager to move the window around, so visual-studio-code does not get any key events. So how do I change that keyboard configuration in visual studio code? I could not find anything in the default key combinations file.
I am not looking for solution that changes my window manager, I really like that behavior and use it very frequently already for a very long time.
The easiest way in my opinion is:
From the top-level menu, click on
Selection -> Switch to Ctrl+Click for Multi-Cursor
Then you can use Ctrl+Click rather than Alt+Click.
You can see where this is in this screenshot:
My VSCode version is 1.24.1
There is currently no way to do this but already an open issue on GitHub which addresses that.
I've recently started using the Visual Studio Code editor. I'm really loving it, but there's one critical feature (for me) that I haven't been able to find. Is there a method list, similar to the Navigator in NetBeans or Member dropdown in Visual Studio?
Yes, there is the workbench.action.gotoSymbol command. On Windows and Linux it's set to CTRL+Shift+O by default, on Mac it's Cmd+Shift+O.
If this command isn't available for the file types you are working with then you should take a look at the VSCode extensions. Not all languages support this feature.
Update: As stated in the comments by #jeff-xiao this extension is Deprecated and it's now a built in feature of Visual Studio code. It should be available at the bottom of file explorer as "Outline" view.
Previous text:
There is now an Extension that supports this. Code Outline creates a panel in the "Explorer" section and for JavaScript, will list variables and functions in a file. I've been using this for a while now and it scratches the itch I had. Other commenters have mentioned it supports Python and PHP well.
It still seems to be in development but I haven't had any issues. Development version available on GitHub. If you're the author reading this - thanks!
This is how it looks:
If Code Outline is not visible, you can show it by:
Invoke Code's Go to symbol command:
macOS: cmd+shift+o (the letter o, not zero)
Windows/Linux: ctrl+shift+o
Typing a colon (:) after invoking Go to symbol will group symbols by type (classes, interfaces, methods, properties, variables). Then just scroll to the methods section.
In 2020 version of VSCode
Cmd+P
# - Find symbol across files
# - Find symbol within file
#: - Group symbols within a file
In VSCode 1.24 you can do that.
Right click on EXPLORER on the side bar and checked Outline.
There is a new release that can do that!
Check here the latest release notes regarding code outline
UPDATE: The extension features are now built-in and the extension itself is now deprecated
I have found this extention: Code Outline.
This is how it looks like:
I believe that is what you have been looking for.
There's no such feature today,
the CTRL+SHIFT+O == CTRL+P # doesn't work for all languages.
As a last resort you can use the search panel - although it is not so fast an easy to use as you'd like - you can enter this regex in the search panel to find all functions:
function\s([_A-Za-z0-9]+)\s*\(
For PHP users :)
Make sure you have 'PHP Symbol' plugin then you can get all methods and class in 'OUTLINE' Sidebar's Bottom.
Press ⌘ command + ⇧ shift + O in "macOS" or Ctrl + Shift + O while using "Windows"
OUTLINE:
#Symbol:
For python in Explorer View, click on OUTLINE as below:
Visual Studio Code market place has a very nice extension named Go To Method for navigating only methods in a code file.
Hit Ctrl+Shift+P and type the install extensions and press enter
Now type Add to method in search box of extensions market place and press enter.
Click install to install the extension.
Last step is to bind a keyboard shortcut to the command workbench.action.gotoMethod to make it a real productivity thing for a developer.
Watch this link: https://code.visualstudio.com/updates/v1_40#_type-filters-for-outline-and-breadcrumbs
Explorer -> OUTLINE, you can choose what you want to show (only methods and functions in your case) and the result is similar to Netbeans:
Open symbol by name :
CTRL+T
might be what you are looking for. Works perfectly with my TypeScript project.
It is an extra part to the answer to this question here but I thought it might be useful. As many people mentioned, Visual Studio Code has the OUTLINE part which provides the ability to browse to different function and show them on the side.
I also wanted to add that if you check the follow cursor mark, it highlights that function name in the OUTLINE view, which is very helpful in browsing and seeing which function you are in.
ctrl+shift+o // This should work for javascript files by default
For PHP install the extension PHP SYMBOLS
FOR PYTHON install the extension PYTHON
On Reload, this will work fine
in-built code OUTLINE available now with VS code
There is a plugin called show functions which lists all the function definitions in a file. It also allows you to sort the function so can search them easily.
CTRL+F12 (CMD+F12 for Mac) - opens for me all methods and members in PHP class.
For find method in all files you can press CTRL + P and then start search with #
example : #signin
Take a look at Show Functions plugin.
It can list functions, symbols, bookmarks by configurable regular expressions. Regular expressions are a real saver, expecially when you're not using a mainstream language and when CodeOutline doesn't do the job.
It's ugly to see a split window with these functions (CodeOutline seems to be better integrated) but at least there's something to use
If you are using typescript you can use this extension "Code navigator for typescript".
I have been trying it and found it useful to list my typescript class methods.
I'm not sure if this is possible and if this is the right place to ask, but I'd like to give it a try. I'm currently trying Netbeans IDE, coming from Dreamweaver.
In Dreamweaver I can create Code Snippets and bind a key to them. So for example marking a text and pressing CTRL+B then, surrounds the text with the [strong] tag. Or I created a snippet, when I press SHIFT+CTRL+B it adds a [br /] tag at the position of the cursor.
I could not find a way to do this in Netbeans so far. Does anyone know if this is possilbe, and if, how to achieve this?
There is a Plugin available for that,
Go to Tools->plugins and try out TagMyCode
https://tagmycode.com/
I've been using it for quite some time, there is a library of public snippets and the doc is really helpful.
