Find a file by name in Visual Studio Code

Question

How can I find file by name in Visual Studio Code?

A Visual Studio shortcut I\'m used to is CTRL+,, but it does not work here.

Answer 1

It is CMD + P (or CTRL + P) by default. However the keyboard bindings may differ according to your preferences.

To know your bindings go to the "Keyboard Shortcuts" settings and search for "Go to File"

Answer 2

When you have opened a folder in a workspace you can do Ctrl+P (Cmd+P on Mac) and start typing the filename, or extension to filter the list of filenames

if you have:

• plugin.ts
• page.css
• plugger.ts

You can type css and press enter and it will open the page.css. If you type .ts the list is filtered and contains two items.

Answer 3

Press Ctl+T will open a search box. Delete # symbol and enter your file name.

Answer 4

I believe the action name is "workbench.action.quickOpen".

Answer 5

It's Ctrl+Shift+O / Cmd+Shift+O on mac. You can see it if you close all tabs
