How can I make search in files to be triggered on keyboard input in Visual Studio Code?

42 Views Asked by At

Search in files needs "enter" to be pressed. How can I make it scan files after every single keyboard input ??

Also how to prioritize code files, instead of configuration files like .json, that unfortunately pops first every single time in search in files results. Both functions are at default in Brackets, I was hoping to be it working the same in Visual Studio Code. Is there any way to configure it somehow, to make it behave like that ??

You can use other search functions, depending on your version.

CTRL+P : Quick File Navigation
CTRL+T : Open symbol by name

Both of these functions should allow you to search as you type.
