Open Editors Picker

A VS Code extension for quickly navigating between open tabs with filtering, similar to "Go to File" but only for currently opened files.

Demo

Usage

• Default Keyboard shortcut: Ctrl+Shift+O (Windows/Linux) or Cmd+Shift+O (Mac)
• Command: "Open Editors: Show Picker"

Customizing the Keyboard Shortcut

Edit openEditorsPicker.showPicker in the Keyboard Shortcuts interface. Alternatively, add this to your keybindings.json:

{
  "key": "your-preferred-shortcut",
  "command": "openEditorsPicker.showPicker"
}

Features

• Fast navigation: List all currently opened files in the editor
• Real-time filtering: Filter by filename and path
• Preview on hover: Optional file preview when navigating (configurable)
• Multiple sorting options: Sort by most recent usage or alphabetically
• Action buttons on each line:
  • [|] Open file to the side (split panel)
  • ✕ Close editor tab
• Clean interface: Similar to VS Code's native Quick Open

Access settings via File > Preferences > Settings and search for "Open Editors Picker":

• openEditorsPicker.enablePreview (default: true): Enable file preview when navigating through the list
