How to Switch Between VSCode Windows Like a Pro

Many developers use separate VSCode windows for different services or repositories.

But ⌘ + Tab just switches apps—not windows.

Assignee Fixes This

  • Ctrl + Tab, 1 -> frontend window
  • Ctrl + Tab, 2 -> backend window
  • Ctrl + Tab, 3 -> auth service window

It’s fast, clear, and multi-window aware.

Bonus: Use Title Naming

Name each window in VSCode so Assignee displays them clearly in its switcher.

Final Thought

Git branches are complicated. Switching windows shouldn’t be.
