I can't figure out how to find and replace all occurrences of a word in different files using Visual Studio Code version 1.0.
I get the impression this should be possible since doing Ctrl + Shift + F allows me to simply search a folder, but i am clueless to how to proceed from here.
I looked in various key combination https://code.visualstudio.com/Docs/customization/keybindings
But I only found how to replace all occurrences in the open file (Ctrl + h)
All help gratefully appreciated, this is driving me crazy.
I'm using Visual Studio Code 1.8, and this feature is available. But it's a little tricky to understand at first, and (at the time of writing) the docs don't explain clearly how to use it, so here's how it works, step by step:
Invoke Replace in Files (under the Edit menu, or with shortcut Ctrl+Shift+H)
You'll see a standard Find/Replace input replacing the files pane on the left:
Enter your search string and the replace string, then press enter. It may churn for a second searching all files, then it'll show the proposed changes in all your project files -- but note, these changes haven't been made yet! Here's what it looks like:
Now you need to make the changes (and even after that, you have to save the modified files.)
You can make those changes in various ways:
Click the replace icon next to your replace string (note: you'll get a dialog to confirm this bulk action.)
Click the replace icon next to the filename (note: the icon only shows up when you hover over the filename row)
Click the replace icon next to the individual change: (note: the icon only shows up when you hover over the change row)
All those files are now modified in the editor and not yet saved to disk.
Use File -> Save All (or Ctrl+Alt+S)
Update: I'm not sure when this was added, but if you click the "Replace all" button and see this dialog, clicking "Replace" will change and save all files in one click:
