An integrated, keyboard driven file selector for VS Code, inspired by Emacs's Helm file selector.

Features

This is what this extension gives you:

  • A fully keyboard driven file open dialog: bind file-browser.open to Ctrl+O (or C-x C-f if you're an Emacs expat) and enjoy the lack of OS file dialog clutter.
  • Start typing a file name to quickly find it in the current folder. Use Tab to autocomplete.
  • Automatically create files and folders just by typing their names and selecting the option that appears.
  • Easy navigation in and out of folders by using the left and right arrow keys.
  • Navigate to your home folder by typing ~/ into the search box, or step up to the parent folder by typing ../.
  • Perform file operations like rename and delete by stepping into a file with the right arrow key, or by hitting Ctrl+A on any file or folder.
