Find in Files in VS Code (Linux)

Press Ctrl + Shift + F to search for text in all files of the workspace.

What it does

Find in Files opens the Search view in the side bar with the cursor in the search field. The results are grouped by file, and a click on a result opens the file at that line. The options beside the field match the case, whole words or a regular expression, and two more fields limit the search to files to include or to leave out.
