Whilst coding I frequently find myself needing to jump either to the top or bottom of a file, but I can't find a quick way to do this with a single key stroke. I tried to define a short cut in the key bindings, but I can't find a function like "page-home" and "page-end". I was going to use the alt key with the home button to jump to the top of a page and alt+end for the bottom.
ie I was expecting to be able to define say:
{ "key": "alt+home", "command": "[what is page home command]", "when": "terminalFocus"}
So, are there such functions page-home/page-end (I may have this wrong, perhaps its defined as something else).
I've spotted a binding for "cmd+home" bound to "workbench.action.terminal.scrollToTop" which sounds like the right function (and a similar one for "cmd+end"), but they don't work.
UPDATE: I've tried to apply changes to the keybindings via the key bindings page, by defining the keystrokes I mentioned before, and it still does not work. Unless I'm doing something wrong, I . think there is a bug that needs to be reported, unless somebody can say otherwise.
Thanks.
The answer is in this GitHub post. The commands you're looking for are cursorTop
and cursorBottom
.
Open up the command palette (CTRL + SHIFT + P on Windows) and select Preferences: Open Keyboard Shortcuts File
Add in the following settings in keybindings.json
:
{
"key": "ctrl+home",
"command": "cursorTop",
"when": "editorTextFocus"
},
{
"key": "ctrl+end",
"command": "cursorBottom",
"when": "editorTextFocus"
}
replacing the key with whatever shortcut you prefer.
