I'm searching for a particular piece of text and using the Search functionality within VS Code (Ctrl+Shift+F). I type some text in the search box and it shows the results only from files that are open already. How do I search for all the files within that workspace / open folder?
(I'm quite new to VS Code so this might be something simple)
Press Ctrl + H , should bring up the search that will include options to search via project, directory, etc.
Click the File Search on the status bar on the bottom of the VSCode IDE. You can also use a keyboard shortcut, Control+Shift+P in Windows or Command+Shift+P on MacOS, to open the command palette and choose Now: Global Search from the list.
VS Code allows you to quickly search over all files in the currently opened folder. Press Ctrl+Shift+F and enter your search term. Search results are grouped into files containing the search term, with an indication of the hits in each file and its location.
How do you use Ctrl D in VS Code? Ctrl+D selects the word at the cursor, or the next occurrence of the current selection. Tip: You can also add more cursors with Ctrl+Shift+L, which will add a selection at each occurrence of the current selected text.
Maybe you have the 'Use Exclude Settings And Ingore Files' toggled?
