I'm considerably new to Visual Studio Code and I am struggling a bit with an easy functionality. Imagine the case when I am reviewing some code in a file a.py and I select 'Go to definition' on a function x of the same file. Is there any possible configuration or shortcut that opens the definition on a split on the editor?

I have tried having already the same file split in the editor an it still opens the definition in the same file what is uncomfortable when you have to trace some code because you need to scroll up and down whenever you want to see another function of the same file.

An extension that allows to do the trick will also be well received. Thanks.

  Using Visual Studio, I usually just open a new window on the file, move to the line in question in the new window, and then do the Go to definition. That way I have two windows open on the same file viewing different parts of the file.

There are 2 ways to achieve this.

Either:

1. Left-click function name that you want to open.


2. Ctrl + t


3. Ctrl + enter

Or:

1. Change setting Editor > Goto Location: Multiple to be gotoAndPeek or goto
   


2. Ctrl + Alt + [click on function name]

Both methods will open the definition in the split to the right (or create a new split if this is the right-most split).

  @ForeverWintr Sorry I don't think that's possible. I think the idea is for us to always work primarily on the left-most split and drill-down further and further towards the right. I guess we need to adopt this approach.

You have two different ways to do that task:
First one is, with the cursor on the word that you want to go to definition, press Alt+F12.
It opens a new tab like this one:

Second one is edit the settings and add this line:

"workbench.editor.enablePreview": false

It disables all the previews for code files so always that you want to go to definition, they will be open in a new tab, as you can see here:

  Thanks for the answer, but these trick does not get the functionality I want. I want the code in two sides on a plit so I can see both at the same time. The first one does not do nothing, when pressing only F12 I go to the definition in the classic way, when pressing Shift+ALT+F12 it finds all references, but when I press Alt+F12 it does nothing. taking into account the other option, I already have that setting disabled from settings, so I think it has nothing to do with it.
