File Stager

A simple yet powerful VS Code extension that allows you to copy files and folders from the VS Code Explorer and paste them directly anywhere

Problem

By default, VS Code only allows you to copy the path of a file or its text content. This makes it impossible to directly paste files into other applications like web browsers, email clients, or desktop folders.

Solution

File Stager bridges this gap. Select files or folders in VS Code, copy them, and paste them anywhere, including your file system, web applications, or other programs that accept file drops.

Features

• Copy Files: Copies actual file objects, not just text paths.
• Batch Support: Works with multiple selected files and folders.
• Keyboard Shortcut: Use Ctrl+Alt+C (Windows) or Cmd+Alt+C (Mac) for instant copying.
• Cross-Platform: Supports Windows (PowerShell) and macOS (AppleScript).

How to Use

1. Select one or more files/folders in the VS Code Explorer.
2. Right-click and select "Copy Files (System Clipboard)".
3. OR use the shortcut: Ctrl+Alt+C.
4. Paste (Ctrl+V / Cmd+V) in any application that supports file drops, including browsers, cloud storage interfaces, or email clients.
