Command palette

Open it

Press Cmd+Shift+P on macOS or Ctrl+Shift+P on Linux and Windows. The palette opens with a > prefix, which means it's searching commands.

Modes

• Start with > to search commands. The commands you've run most recently are listed first.
• Delete the > to search files in the workspace by name.
• Search for “theme”, “terminal”, “git”, “extensions” or “remote” to find most workbench actions.

Tips

• Use the arrow keys to move and Enter to run.
• Esc closes the palette and leaves the editor focus where it was.
