Visual studio code - keyboard shortcuts - expand/collapse all

Trying to find the equivalent to Ctrl + Shift + - in Intellij that collapses/expands all functions.


Here it is.

Ctrl+Shift+[    Fold (collapse) region  editor.fold
Ctrl+Shift+]    Unfold (uncollapse) region  editor.unfold
Ctrl+K Ctrl+[   Fold (collapse) all subregions  editor.foldRecursively
Ctrl+K Ctrl+]   Unfold (uncollapse) all subregions  editor.unfoldRecursively
Ctrl+K Ctrl+0   Fold (collapse) all regions editor.foldAll
Ctrl+K Ctrl+J   Unfold (uncollapse) all regions

Take Look at Visual studio Code Keybindings section at this link.

Also Platform specific Key board shortcuts available in pdf.here is the links

Windows,MAC,Linux


You can set custom values for that.

  1. Open the Command Palette ( + + P or F1 on Mac)
  2. Search Open Keyboard Shortcuts
  3. Then search for collapse
  4. Finally click the + sign near the Collapse All and Collapse Folders in Explorer options and set the shortcuts like I did

keyboard vscode collapse all shortcuts

Or you can open keybindings.json file and add this to the main array.

 ,
  {
    "key": "cmd+k cmd+s",
    "command": "search.action.collapseSearchResults"
  },
  {
    "key": "cmd+k cmd+e",
    "command": "workbench.files.action.collapseExplorerFolders"
  }

Go to File --> Preferences --> Keyboard Shortcuts (or Ctrl+K Ctrl+S)

Search for the word fold all

The ones you need are:

  • Fold All
  • Unfold All

Set your custom keyboard shortcut


One simple way I use is:

  1. Launch command pallete with Ctrl + Shift + P
  2. Search for Collapse Folders in Explorer
  3. Press Enter

You can also define a custom shortcut for this command in settings.
