EDITOR SPLITS

You can split editors to achieve just about any layout you want. The View → Editor Layout menu
holds some presets like three columns or a two-by-two grid. There are commands for splitting
the current editor in any direction, and dragging-and-dropping the tab of an open file also lets
you create a split in any direction. In addition, here are some ways to manage the editor layout:

CTRL 2 , CTRL 3 etc. will bring up additional editors, or focus that editor if it’s already opened.

ALT -clicking a file in the Explorer in the side bar will open the file in a second editor.

CTRL ENTER in the Quick Open file list opens the file in a new editor.

$ TERMINAL

The panel at the bottom of the VS Code interface houses an integrated terminal.
CTRL J toggles the panel, while CTRL ` focuses and then toggles the terminal.

CTRL ⇧ ` opens a new terminal. You can shift between open terminals using the dropdown in
the upper-right corner of the panel. The terminal can be split, and binding a keyboard shortcut
to the command “View: Toggle Maximized Panel” allows you to temporarily maximize it.

There are also commands available to “Run Selected Text in Active Terminal” and “Run Active
File in Active Terminal”.

⌘ KEYBOARD SHORTCUT PREFERENCES

Open the keyboard shortcut preferences with the shortcut CTRL K CTRL S . Here, you can
search for a command like “add cursor below”, but you can also search for a key binding. For
example, searching for “ctrl shift cmd right” shows the command bound to that shortcut.

The preferences show the keyboard shortcuts with the current keyboard layout. If you switch
your keyboard layout, the shortcuts displayed update accordingly.

You can filter the shortcuts to display only bindings added by the user or default bindings by
typing @source:user or @source:default in the search bar.
