This was made for Unreal development using clangd but can be used for anything.
clangd doesn't like Unreal Source files so the Alt+O shortcut doesn't work a lot of the time(switches to wrong file). This extension uses simpler methods when switching files using Alt+O.
- Download .vsix file from this github
- Open VSCode and click the 'Extensions' icon on the left panel
- Look for the
...(three dots) at the top of the Extensions panel(left side), click on it, and select Install from VSIX...
After installing you'll need to adjust your Alt+O keyboard shortcut for other extensions
Note: You don't have to delete these keyboard shortcuts you can just change them to something else.
For example I change these shortcuts below to Control+Shift+Alt+O (clangd and C/C++)
Note: You can see above that there are two clangd entries.
- This is because there was an update to clangd keyboard shortcuts
- They updated their extension to a more advanced 'When' clause
- So if you notice the Alt+O shortcut not working correctly, recheck if an update added a new/different Alt+O keyboard shortcut to an extension
- I kept the two clangd entries for demonstration purposes. I will delete the older one.
This extension contributes the following settings:
-
file-switcher.extensions: Two strings of extensions separated by ','- These strings determine the file extension that are compatable to this extension.
-
file-switcher.log.logLevel: logging for the extension -
file-switcher.cache.pathCount: Cache path count for storing paths for faster retrieval
