Search and quick-open

Find text anywhere in your project, jump to any file, and run any action — all from the keyboard.

  1. Search across every file

    Open Search in the sidebar and type a word; it scans every file in your project at once and lists each place the word appears. Tap a result to jump straight to that line in the editor.

    The sidebar Search view, results grouped by file, with the search box highlighted.

  2. Quick-open a file by name

    Press Ctrl+P and type a few letters from a file's name — even letters scattered through it — and the closest matches rise to the top. Press Enter to open the highlighted one.

    The quick-open panel at the top of the window, listing files that match the typed letters.

  3. Run any action by name

    Press Ctrl+Shift+P to open the command palette, then type what you want to do — Run, Share, toggle the console — and pick it from the list. You never have to hunt for the action in a menu.

    The command palette open with a > prefix, listing matching actions beside their keyboard shortcuts.
