This is where Ctrl + P
in Visual Studio Code steps in like a superhero.
Hit Ctrl + P

This one shortcut is all about saving time, but it feels like so much more—like the IDE itself is tuned in to your flow and moving right alongside you.
No more clicking around or getting distracted by the sight of too many files; with Ctrl + P
, you can teleport directly to the file you want and keep your momentum going strong.
It’s a shortcut that doesn’t just make navigation easier; it keeps you in the zone, focused on the code that matters without a single interruption.
