I checked VS Code shortcut bindings, but do not see why "ctrl+d" will open "Select Environment" instead. That does not even appear in the shortcut bindings. Any idea how I can make it go half a page down instead?
I'm assuming you're using the Vim extension and expect it to page down.
If you select one of the environments (like Node.js for me), it should work after.
In case someone ever met this problem again, I solved this problem by entering command mode (press :) and escape.
I still am not sure what happened.
Sometimes when I write the function name, the api is shown above its name automatically, but sometimes it doesn't work and I have to rewrite the function name to get that, so is there a shortcut key for it?
(I know man function_name but I used to CTRL+Q in NetBeans to get the same thing quickly but I can't find one for vscode.)
ALT+F12 seems to do the job. It's called "peek definition" which is available in the right click options too.
Also note that the opened window doesn't go away by clicking somewhere else outside of it, however, instead you can still use the ESC from keyboard.
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 .
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.

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.
Coming from Visual Studio and starting a project in Java, I realized I couldn't cope with having to press ctrl+space to have the autocomplete panel show up. An easy workaround was to set all keyboard characters to be trigger characters for autocompletion.
My only problem is that, when presented with autocomplete suggestions, a single press on the space bar will write the first proposition. In situations where I'm happy with the suggestions, that's just fine. In situations where I actually want to use what I wrote down initially, I have to press 'escape' first to remove the autocomplete panel before I can press 'space' safely.
Netbeans doesn't use the space bar as a validating key for autocompletion (only 'enter' does that) and I like that behavior. Any way to replicate it in Eclipse?
Thanks in advance for your answers!
EDIT: I should have mentioned I'm using Eclipse on the Mac.

I have the same problem with Eclipse Indigo on Windows XP actually. Coming from intellij idea, I also felt the need to set the whole keyboard to trigger auto-complete.
A quick proof that SPACE key does accept suggestions : type inte on a new line. If the auto-complete menu shows, press SPACE. It goes for Integer.
If anyone knows how to set the SPACE key to "ignore suggestions", it would be great, because the escape key on my keyboard is also too far away :)
Thanks
Edit : actually the best would be to have only the ENTER key validating, because ';' and '(' also seem to validate
I just tried to reproduce your behavior, but couldn't. Here is the configuration I have (and the steps I have done to reproduce):
I have installed Indigo (current version of Eclipse, version number 3.7).
I did not change any configuration there, this is what is the default:
Under Window > Preferences > Java > Editor > Content Assist, I have the following settings:
Completion inserts (instead of overwrite)
Insert single proposal automatically (which is ok most of the time)
not insert common prefix automatically
I have a simple class, go down to a method, and do the following steps:
Enter this.no and wait some time. Sometimes I have to press CTRL + SPACE, sometimes not.
Proposal pops up which includes notify and notifyAll.
I press SPACE and a space is inserted in the text, the autocomplete suggestions are closed without inserting anything.
I do not know if older versions of eclipse have the same behavior.
