Folder Indexing for Visual Studio Code

This extension creates in-memory index of files in opened folder and allows user to open them via workbench.action.showAllSymbols (Go To Symbol In Workspace) command. For folders containing big number of files it works much faster than standard VS Code feature workbench.action.quickOpen.

Features

  • Quick open files by
    • filename
    • filename part
    • fuzzy pattern (e.g. 'sod' would match 'SomeMatchingDataFile.txt')
  • Exclude paths from indexing using glob patterns
  • Disable index search for specific languages

Settings

  • folder-indexing.exclude : glob patterns to exclude from index
  • folder-indexing.searchResultMaxSize : maximal count of lines to show in symbol search dropdown
  • folder-indexing.searchMode : sets target which index search is performed on:
    • filename: find symbol matches in filename
    • fullpath: find symbol matches in full path (slower and less stable)
  • folder-indexing.searchDisablingLanguages : active text editor language ids for which index search should be disabled

Commands

  • folder-indexing.rebuildindex (Folder Indexing: Rebuild) : rebuild index (e.g. if something's wrong)
