There a way to swapping instances of only the application VSCode?

I'm new to VSCode (Visual Studio Code) and I'm coming from WebStorm.

When I used WebStorm I was able to use Command + ` to swap instances of WebStorm windows. This behavior is also found in Chrome when you use that shortcut to switch between Chrome windows.

Is there a way to do this on VSCode?

Solution

  • Two options using VS Code:

    • The workbench.action.switchWindow keybinding to select the window to switch to. It is bound to ctrlw by default

    • The workbench.action.quickSwitchWindow command. Unlike workbench.action.switchWindow, it automatically switches windows when you release the keys. It is not bound by default but you can configure a keybinding for it.

    The OS may also provide this:
