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)
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.
