How do I control the fuzzy finder view?

Whatever defaults are present on your system (and read by VS Code) are used. For fzf, this means <Ctrl+K> moves the selection up, <Ctrl+J> moves down, and selects. You can also use the up and down arrows. for multiple select when available. Read the fzf documentation to learn more.

I'm on Linux and I can't use Ctrl+K to navigate upwards in fzf.

Probably VS Code is waiting for you to complete a multi-step keyboard shortcut (chord). Change the following setting in your preferences to disable chords:

"terminal.integrated.allowChords": false

I found a bug!

Please file a Github issue. Provide detailed information including:

  • OS
  • VS Code version
  • Does it happen after you reset to default settings (if relevant)?
  • Anything special about your configuration / workspace
