Go to Symbol in VS Code (macOS)

Press Shift + Command + O to list the functions and classes of the current file and jump to one.

What it does

Go to Symbol opens a list of the symbols in the file you are editing: functions, classes, methods and, in a Markdown file, the headings. Type part of a name to narrow the list, and press Enter to jump there. Type a colon first to group the list by kind. It needs language support for the file type, as Go to Definition does.
