I'm doing a code review of a project, which means cycling through all the files in it. I want to keep my hands on the keyboard but neither do I want to have to CMD+P and type in the name of each file.
I've bound CMD+K,CMD+E to workbench.files.action.focusFilesExplorer which enables me to easily get to the Explorer, but then I can only explorer.openToSide, which isn't exactly what I want. I want to be able to open them directly, full-screen even if I have other windows open.
Are there commands for this that I can bind to? I suspect this isn't a feature yet.
By default on a mac you can use cmd+down to open the file.
Pressing Enter will edit the filename.
To open a file, just press Enter once you've selected it. It's bound to the list.select command by default. This also works for expanding / collapsing folders.
After workbench.files.action.focusFilesExplorer you can press Up or Down to navigate through file list while File explorer is fosuced. Then hit Enter to open the selected file.
Also I set Ctrl + E for workbench.files.action.focusFilesExplorer.
In my case, sequential navigating through list of files is a repeating sequence of these shortcuts:
Ctrl + E
Down
Enter
...
Ctrl + E
Down
Enter
...
How can I set bookmarks in Visual Studio Code? I can't find any keyboard shortcuts.
Or is there anything else that I can use instead?
Yes, via extensions. Try Bookmarks extension on marketplace.visualstudio.com
Hit Ctrl+Shift+P and type the install extensions and press enter, then type Bookmark and press enter.
Next you may wish to customize what keys are used to make a bookmark and move to it. For that see this question.
You need to do this via an extension as of the version 1.8.1.
Go to View → Extensions. This will open Extensions Panel.
Type bookmark to list all related extensions.
Install
I personally like "Numbered Bookmarks" - it is pretty simple and powerful.
Go to the line you need to create a bookmark.
Click Ctrl + Shift + [some number]
Ex: Ctrl + Shift + 2
Now you can jump to this line from anywhere by pressing Ctrl + number
Ex: Ctrl + 2
Visual Studio Code currently does not support bookmarks natively. Please add this as feature request to our Git Hub issue list (https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode).
In the meantime there are some ways to navigate around the code based on your navigation history. You can Ctrl+Tab to quickly jump to previously opened files. You can also navigate within your code based on cursor positions using Goto | Back and Goto | Forward.
Both VS Code extensions can be used:
'Bookmarks'
'Numbered Bookmarks'
Personally, I'm suggesting:
Numbered Bookmarks, with 'navigate through all files' option:
ctrl + Shift + P in VS Code
In newly open field, type: Open User Settings
Paste this key/value: "numberedBookmarks.navigateThroughAllFiles": "allowDuplicates" (allow duplicates of bookmarks),
Or, paste this key/value: "numberedBookmarks.navigateThroughAllFiles": "replace"
NOTE
Either way, be careful with shortcuts (Ctrl+1, Ctrl+Shift+1,..) that are already assigned.
Personally, mine were in 2 conflicts, with:
VS Code shortcuts, that already exists,
Ditto clipboard (I've got paste on each call of bookmark)
The bookmarks extension mentioned in the accepted answer conflicts with toggling breakpoints via the margin.
You could do the same with breakpoints and select the debug tab on the left to see them listed. Better yet, use File, Preferences, Keyboard Shortcuts and set (Shift+)Ctrl+F9 to navigate between them, even across files:
If you are using vscodevim extension, then you can harness the power of vim keyboard moves. When you are on a line that you would like to bookmark, in normal mode, you can type:
m {a-z A-Z} for a possible 52 bookmarks within a file. Small letter alphabets are for bookmarks within a single file. Capital letters preserve their marks across files.
To navigate to a bookmark from within any file, you then need to hit ' {a-z A-Z}. I don't think these bookmarks stay across different VSCode sessions though.
More vim shortcuts here.
No extension
As an alternative you can do Ctrl + P as "Go to file" in your workspace and type:
partial name of your file and/or extension.
type # + any name of method, property, variable, class (symbol) etc.
in currently opened file navigate between symbols with #
I found it more convenient than Bookmarks extension. Of course it depends a lot on your naming conventions and how well you know your codebase.
Under the general heading of 'editors always forget to document getting out…' to toggle go to another line and press the combination ctrl+shift+'N' to erase the current bookmark do the same on marked line…
when I press Ctrl + Space in eclipse Juno it pops up following dialog box.
Anyone has an idea what's going n here ??
Try this
Check whether multiple commands are registered for Ctrl+Space short cut.
Go to Windows->Preferences and in search box type keys and check. It should be shown as below.
If multiple commands are registered then change the other key bindings short cut other combination of keys.
Double click for scope selection and Alt + Shift + ↑ were working fine before installing Aptana Studio plugin, but now both are not working. Is there any setting to enable it again?
I'm using Eclipse Kepler Service Release 1
There may be key conflicts occurred between original short-cuts and with the Aptana plugins.
Go to Window->Preferences. Type keys in the search box. Type Shift+Alt+Up in the keys preference page search box. If there are multiple commands registered then check the context of all these commands or assign new short-cut key.
!How to do this!
As you see in the picture. For Alt+Shift+Up keyboard short-cut multiple commands are registered. Change these short-cuts and make them unique.Click on Binding text box, delete the content and Hold your Ctrl key and Press 0.
Make sure that this short cut is not assigned to any other commands.
Now you can do selection scoping using the new short-cut i.e Ctrl+0 while editing java source.
I am using win7 and eclipse with Aptana plugin for trying some examples on Ruby. But I can't figure out how to add Alt + Space as a shortcut in Eclipse (I want to add it to complete already defined variables). The issue is that when I try to add that combination (Eclipse reads the keys clicked) and the menu window appears in the top left -> it is shown when you hit the Alt key.
Does anyone has a hint how to add the shortcut?
I found similar post, but don't know how and where to add the code there.
Autohotkey, remap Left Alt + Space to Control + Escape
In Eclipse, the code-completion shortcut is Ctrl+Space (it's called Content Assist in Eclipse lingo). Is that what you're looking for?
I'm pretty sure it can be mapped to a different keyboard combination. Open Preferences and navigate to General > Keys and then search for the Content Assist command to re-map.
