Jump to Closing tag in VS Code?

Question

I can't seem to find a way to select the beginning of a bracket and jump to the end of it through some key combination or something in VS Code. For example, in atom, this is done with Ctrl + m.

I know there is a way to jump to the beginning and end of a bracket or curlybraces with Cmd + Shift + \ but that does not work for tags. Any ideas?

Answer 1

It is possible to do, but either using Ctrl + Shift + P -> "Emmet: Go to Matching Pair" or by manually setting a shortcut for it (Ctrl + K Ctrl + S).

Unfortunately there is currently no support for it out of the box.

Answer 2

You can use Cmd + % to jump tags in VSCode if you add the following to your keybindings.json.

{     "key":"cmd+shift+5",     "command": "editor.emmet.action.matchTag" } 

Go to: File > Preferences > Keyboard Shortcuts and click the underlined link to edit keybindings.json.

For those using VIM keys: you are already used to pressing % to jump to matching parens and tags. So, hopefully, Cmd + % will be close enough to your existing muscle memory to make this transition painless.
