A split file explorer for vscode, inspired by netrw, vim-vinegar, dired, and vim-dirvish.
Use vsnetrw.open to open a file explorer at the parent directory of the currently active text editor. Once open the following shortcuts are available.
| Default Shortcut | Command | Description |
|---|---|---|
| enter | vsnetrw.openAtCursor |
Open the file or directory under the cursor |
| - | vsnetrw.openParent |
Jump to the parent directory |
| ~ | vsnetrw.openHome |
Jump to the root of the current workspace folder, or user's homedir. |
| R | vsnetrw.rename |
Rename the file or directory under the cursor |
| % | vsnetrw.create |
Create a new file or directory (and any intermediate directories). |
| d | vsnetrw.createDir |
Create a new directory (and any intermediate ones). |
| D | vsnetrw.delete |
Delete the file or directory under the cursor. |
| ctrl+l | vsnetrw.refresh |
Refresh the directory listing. |
| esc | vsnetrw.close |
Close the active explorer. |
To make - open an explorer from any file (like vim-vinegar) add the following binding to your vim.normalModeKeyBindings.
{
"before": ["-"],
"commands": ["vsnetrw.open"],
"when": "editorLangId != vsnetrw"
}This binding can't be provided as part of the extension because native VSCode's keybindings will accidentally trigger in undesirable instances (e.g. pressing r- in normal mode).
vsnetrw can be installed from the VSCode Marketplace.
You can also download a VSIX from releases and install it by running >Extensions: Install from VSIX.
