Show HN: Edit the filesystem like a text buffer in VSCode

2 pointsby hexomancer4 months ago
I wrote a vscode extension which allows you to create&#x2F;rename&#x2F;move&#x2F;delete files by editing a text buffer. If you are familiar with oil.nvim, this is similar. In my opinion this is vastly superior to the built-in file manager because it allows you to utilize your existing text-editing muscle memory into file manipulation skills, as opposed to the built-in file explorer which requires mouse or at least memorizing new keyboard shortcuts. There is a video demo on the github page.<p>Here is the extension page on the visual studio marketplace: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;marketplace.visualstudio.com&#x2F;items?itemName=AliMostafavi.voil" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;marketplace.visualstudio.com&#x2F;items?itemName=AliMosta...</a>
