Supercharge Your VS Code Navigation

If you aren't using the 'Go to Symbol' shortcut yet, you're missing out on a huge productivity boost. Hit Cmd+Shift+O (or Ctrl+Shift+O on Windows) to instantly jump to any function, class, or variable in your current file. It’s much faster than scrolling through a thousand lines of code trying to find that one specific export.

You can even add a colon after the shortcut to group those symbols by type, making it even easier to distinguish between your variables and your methods in a complex file.
