# How to Gracefully Perform Code Search and Replace in VSCode ## 1.1 Using the Find Function VSCode offers a powerful find function that allows you to quickly locate text or patterns in your code. To utilize this feature, press `Ctrl` + `F` (Windows/Linux) or `Cmd` + `F` (macOS) to open the Find bar. In the Find bar, type in the text or pattern you wish to find. VSCode will search for matches in the currently open file. You can further optimize your search with the following options: - **Case-sensitive:** Check this option to differentiate between uppercase and lowercase letters. - **Regular Expression:** Check this option to search using regular expressions. - **Whole Word:** Check this option to only find matches that are whole words. - **Use Regular Expression:** Check this option to search using regular expressions. ## 2. VSCode Code Search Tips ### 2.1 Basic Search Commands and Shortcuts #### 2.1.1 Using the Find Function **Command:** Ctrl + F (Windows/Linux) / Cmd + F (macOS) **Shortcuts:** - **Find Next:** F3 - **Find Previous:** Shift + F3 - **Replace:** Ctrl + H (Windows/Linux) / Cmd + Option + F (macOS) **Instructions:** Open the file you wish to search in the editor. Press Ctrl + F (Windows/Linux) or Cmd + F (macOS) to open the find function. Type in the text or regular expression you want to search for in the input box. Press Enter to start searching. #### 2.1.2 Using Regular Expression Search **Regular Expression Syntax:** - `.`: Matches any single character - `*`: Matches the preceding character zero or more times - `+`: Matches the preceding character one or more times - `?`: Matches the preceding character zero or one time - `[]`: Matches any single character within the brackets - `[^]`: Matches any single character not within the brackets - `|`: Matches one of several alternatives **Instructions:** Add a slash (/) before the text you want to search for in the input box of the find function. For example, to search for text containing "foo" or "bar," you can use the regular expression `/foo|bar/`. ### 2.2 Advanced Search Features #### 2.2.1 Symbol Search **Command:** Ctrl + Shift + O (Windows/Linux) / Cmd + Shift + O (macOS) **Instructions:** Symbol search quickly finds symbols in your project, including functions, variables, classes, and interfaces. Press Ctrl + Shift + O (Windows/Linux) or Cmd + Shift + O (macOS) to open the symbol search function. Type in the name of the symbol you want to find, and VSCode will display the matching results. #### 2.2.2 Reference Search **Command:** Shift + F12 **Instructions:** Reference search finds all references to a specific symbol. Place the cursor on the symbol and press Shift + F12. VSCode will display all references to that symbol, allowing for quick navigation to them. #### 2.2.3 In-File Search **Command:** Ctrl + Shift + F (Windows/Linux) / Cmd + Shift + F (macOS) **Instructions:** In-file search quickly finds specific text or regular expressions within the current file. Press Ctrl + Shift + F (Windows/Linux) or Cmd + Shift + F (macOS) to open the in-file search function. Type in the text or regular expression you want to search for, and VSCode will display the matching results. ### 2.3 Search Result Management #### 2.3.1 Search Result Preview **Shortcut:** Alt + Enter (Windows/Linux) / Option + Enter (macOS) **Instructions:** Hover the cursor over a result in the search results list. Press Alt + Enter (Windows/Linux) or Option + Enter (macOS) to preview the result. The preview window will show the context of the matching text. #### 2.3.2 Search Result Navigation **Shortcuts:** - **Next Result:** F4 - **Previous Result:** Shift + F4 **Instructions:** Navigate between search results by pressing F4 or Shift + F4. VSCode will highlight the current result and show its context. # 3. VSCode Code Replace Tips ### 3.1 Basic Replace Commands and Shortcuts #### 3.1.1 Using the Replace Function VSCode provides a replace function that allows you to quickly and efficiently replace text in your code. To use the replace function, follow these steps: 1. **Find and select the text to be replaced:** Use the find function (Ctrl/Cmd + F) or select the text. 2. **Open the replace dialog:** Press Ctrl/Cmd + H to open the replace dialog. 3. **Enter the replacement text:** Type the text you want to replace in the "Replace with" field. 4. **Select the replacement range:** Choose the range for the text replacement, such as the current file, all open files, or the entire workspace. 5. **Perform the replacement:** Click the "Replace All" button to replace all matching text. #### 3.1.2 Using Regular Expression Replace Regular expressions (Regex) are a powerful pattern matching language that can be used to find and replace complex text patterns. VSCode supports regular expression replace, allowing you to perform advanced replacement operations. To use regular expression replace, use regular expression patterns in the "Find" and "Replace with" fields. For example, the following regular expression will replace all words that start with "foo": ``` ^foo ``` ### 3.2 Advanced Replace Features #### *** ***erform a multiline replace, use a multiline regular expression in the "Find" field.
