vscode keyboard shortcuts to specific files

Question

In vscode I want direct keyboard shortcuts assigned to specific files, the most used, in the active project, something like

Alt+1 -> sourcefile1.ts

Alt+2 -> settings.json

etc...

(each shortcut would open/bring to focus that file in the editor)

So far I haven't found a solution, I have to dig further but I wonder if there's already an obvious solution for this, perhaps some plugin otherwise what would be the the simplest approach?

Answer 1

You can do this with keybindings like this:

  {
    "key": "alt+1",
    "command": "workbench.action.terminal.sendSequence",
    "args": { "text": "code -r 'test.js'\u000d" }
  },

  {
    "key": "alt+2",   // open workspace settings
    "command": "workbench.action.terminal.sendSequence",
    "args": { "text": "code -r '.vscode/settings.json'\u000d" }
  },

You can use the variables listed in https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/variables-reference , like ${workspaceFolder} or ${execPath} .
