When you press Ctrl Shift P (or whatever you bind it to) in VS Code a Command Palette pops up. It brings up a magical textbox with a angle bracket > string in it that you can type in to access commands, like >fold all.

But most of the time I instead use this magical textbox to search for functions or objects in my code via @function or in all dependencies via #function, or just open files myfile.py.

So every time I press Ctrl Shift P I immediately have to follow it up with a backspace to remove angle bracket >, so that the string in the magical textbox starts with the appropriate @ or # character instad of >.

Sadly, typing >@function does not search for function, so the angle bracket > has to be removed manually.

How do I get VS Code to bring up the magical textbox but not insert the angle character >?

(Note: I know I could just write an AHK or similar macro to follow up Ctrl Shift P with a backspace, but I don't trust backspaces in a macro.)

Alternately, how do I access a search box with similar @function search behaviour? (The answer is definitely not Ctrl F.)

You can look the shortcuts just type Keyboard Shortcuts in the command pallet (or magic textbox :D) and search for "Go to File", default it is CTRL P
