As per the answers in this question, there are two primary ways to search for files in VSCode:
- By using
CTRL/CMD + P/E
to search and "go to file" - By clicking anywhere in the explorer tree and typing
Why do the above solutions not suit my needs?
I need a way to search for files and get a full list of them (in plain view) so I can easily scan them.
The 1st method returns only partial results unless I scroll down.
The 2nd method only searches the folder tree that's currently open.
I know I can use the find
command in Linux to achieve this, but can I achieve something similar in the editor itself?
