I use VSCode in Mac system.
I know that we could use command+shift+F to search a word in a project. Is there a quick shortcut to go to the search result panel so that we could navigate through the results by up and down?

I found it. After searching by command+shift+F, typing command+downarrow sets the focus on the first element found. Then we could use up arrow and down arrow to navigate.

2In case others hit this question and @SoftTimur's answer didn't work, my 2 cents would be to search for:

4@SoftTimur Thanks, that's exactly what I wanted! Such a simple keyboard shortcut, but with very poor discoverability. Commented Mar 8, 2021 at 3:51
Key Bindings for Visual Studio Code says that F4 and ShiftF4 can be used to focus inside the search results:

I tried, by typing
F4andShift+F4, we could indeed go through all the search results. But I would prefer a shortcut to move the focus to the search result panel so that we could navigate search results byupanddownarrows. Commented Feb 18, 2020 at 15:40 -
I'm not using VSC, so question: Where is the focus after F4?– harrymcCommented Feb 18, 2020 at 15:42

After F4, the focus is in the main editing panel of the files where the search result is. Commented Feb 18, 2020 at 15:44

Try to find something in the key bindings, but I'm not sure it exists (⌘+k and ⌘+s).– harrymcCommented Feb 18, 2020 at 16:43

2This one is better than CMD+arrows because the focus/cursor stays in the editor, so you can start editing right away. You can just press f4 or shift+f4 repeatedly to navigate the search results.– UserCommented Nov 4, 2021 at 15:03
There is also the search.action.focusSearchList command that focuses the search list and then you can go through the results with up/down arrows.
