I wrote a vscode extension which allows you to create/rename/move/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 here: <a href="https://github.com/ahrm/voil">https://github.com/ahrm/voil</a>.
Wow, nice achievement! It's funny to see the amount of community effort around vscode to make it behave like vim.<p>I've never got to like oil.vim. Tried, but it doesn't stick.<p>I guess, partly because it doesn't solve a real problem for me: commandline (bash, zsh) with gnutools is good enough.<p>But mostly because doing stuff to files, for me, is more about the actions (commands, events) and less about the end result. With oil, it feels a bit like I describe the state I want in a text file (in a DSL) but my head keeps translating that from the actions I'd need to take. Probably just 30+ years of commandline thinking worn into my brain too deep.
