VS Code return to the last cursor position from search all side-bar

Time:03-12

in VS code you can normally use alt left to go back to the last cursor position when your cursor is currently on an opened document. however, if you will press ctrl shift f (find in all) the cursor will jump to the find in all search side-bar, and to return to the last position in the document you have to use your cursor (crtl left won't work).

is there a way to move back from the search results side-bar to the last position in the document in VS code? (in Jetbrains products, for example, esc will do the trick because the search results are actually in a modal)

CodePudding user response:

The command workbench.action.focusActiveEditorGroup will do what you want. So you could set up a keybinding like this (in keybindings.json):

{
  "key": "alt left",
  "command": "workbench.action.focusActiveEditorGroup",
  "when": "searchViewletFocus"        // probably not necessary, but safer
}

See customizing keybindings to learn how to access the keybindings.json file.
