How to jump to file explorer in VS Code?

Using the VIM extension for VS Code is there a key command to jump to the explorer pane and then back to the work window?

I cannot find anything in the docs.

I'm hoping there is something like my Control+N binding for NERDTree which lets me open the file viewer, pick a file and then close it.

Solution

  • I am not familiar with NERDTree, but I think Ctrl+Shift+e does what you are asking in vs code. Alternatively Ctrl+p may be an alternative? You could look at linux keyboard shortcut for more reference.

    The link is also available in Help > Keyboard Shortcut Reference

    EDIT: I'm adding the equivalent shortcut for Mac OS since it's different layout. However, I don't use Mac OS.. So I add this without being able to confirm :

    Windows keyboard shortcuts are very similar to linux ones. So, I'll just include the link to windows shortcuts doc here. Windows Keyboard shortcut for VS Code
