Pinned Folder/File

Keep frequently used folders and files easy to find in the VS Code or Cursor Explorer.

Features

  • Pin folders and files from the Explorer context menu.
  • Open a pinned folder and reveal it in the Explorer with the folder expanded.
  • Open a pinned file, reveal it in the Explorer, and open it in a pinned editor tab.
  • Organize pinned items into a tree by dragging items onto folders.
  • Reorder items by dragging onto files or using Move Up and Move Down.
  • Unpin a parent without losing its children: children are promoted to the parent level.
  • Remove stale pins automatically when a path is no longer available.

Usage

  1. Open the Explorer.
  2. Right-click a folder or file and choose Pin Folder/File.
  3. Use the Pinned Folder/File view at the top of the Explorer.
  4. Right-click a pinned item to unpin or reorder it.

Dragging pinned items only changes this extension's saved navigation tree. It never moves, copies, renames, or deletes files or folders on disk.
