Open a file with Quick Open
Here’s how I open a file quickly in VS Code without touching the mouse.
Press Ctrl+P to open Quick Open, then start typing the name of the file you’re looking for. In this case I typed fi. You can press the down arrow a couple of times to move through the list and hear what’s there, and once you land on the file you want, press Enter.
That’s it. No mouse needed.
