Stackoverflow Instant Search - Visual Studio Code Extension

This extension adds a quick command to search Stackoverflow without leaving your favorite VS Code. You can find the command by name stackoverflow search or by using the hotkeys cmd+h on Mac or ctrl+h on Windows, h stands for help. As an alternative you can execute search instantly from a context menu (select text -> right click -> Stackoverflow Search) or by using the hotkeys cmd+shift+h on Mac or ctrl+shift+h on Windows.

You can also narrow your search with tags by specifying them in square brackets (semicolon-separated), e.g. BindingContext [mvvm;xamarin.forms]
