i'm trying to get a list of all the files with a certain name in a project i opened with VS Code.
For example, all the .gitignore files in my project. I know i can ctrl+p and type ".gitignore", but i don't want to open all the files, i want to list them, and open them one by one afterwards. Also the "open file" popup disappears as it looses focus and brings recent files to the top, altering the order every time (this makes it difficult to keep track of the files i already opened).
I've found this cool extension that only opens all the files with a certain name (it even supports wildcards). The problem is that i have tens of files, i can't open all of them together, especially if the files are not simple .gitignore files, but something bigger.
Yes i could just use my OS' file search, but that is not always possible (eg. when using a remote filesystem) or quick (it depends on how many files are in the project folder).
ctrl+shift+F
is the global search: it searches for text inside files matching your pattern. -ctrl+F
is the current file search: it searches for text inside the current file. -ctrl+T
is the symbol search: it searches for classes/functions/whatever, anywhere (if i'm not mistaken). - what i need is a gnome-search-tool/Everything Search/Explorer.exe-like search, listing files matching my query. i'm not looking for any particular file contents, just the name/path
