Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Actually this is more like a question than a feature request but anyway, is there a vim key combo for the vscode to search for symbols? If not, is there something comparable in vim that can be adjusted to act in that way?

Describe the solution you'd like
A key binding that lets me search for symbols in a file.

Describe alternatives you've considered
I guess manually unmap to not interfere with vscode

Additional context
When you hit F1 and delete the > and type either @ or # is what I mean.

Research direction

The issue points to VS Code's F1 command palette and the @/# symbol-search forms; start by examining how the extension handles Vim key bindings and VS Code commands. Done means a Vim key binding can search symbols within the current file without conflicting with VS Code's behavior.
