How do I toggle header/cpp file via keyboard shortcut in Visual Studio Code?

I'd like a simple keyboard shortcut to swap between the header (h, hpp) and CPP files. Visual Assist for Visual Studio allowed me to do this via ALT+O. Is there a similar keyboard binding for Visual Studio Code?

If you're using the clangd plugin already, then you don't need an additional plugin and can use cmd-opt-o.

You can use the extension ms-vscode.cpptools to Switch Header/Source.

  • If you're on Mac, then the shortcut is ⌥ O (option + O key).
  • On Windows, the shortcut is Alt+O.

Old answer:

There are currently a couple of extensions that support header/source file toggling:

You can find more by searching the words "switch toggle header source" in the extensions tab in vscode.

In my case builtin IntelliSense solution conflicted with clangd plugin that I use, so the solution that worked for me was using aforementioned Header source switch plugin.

No need for an extension, this is now built into Visual Studio.

The command you're looking for is:

EditorContextMenus.CodeWindow.ToggleHeaderCodeFile

It's by default bound to Ctrl-K, Ctrl-O.

Ctrl + Tab, press it one and it'll always swap between A.cpp and A.h file.
