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 the quick search, 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. Follow along for more VS Code tips.
