Edit Next File

Navigate the editor seamlessly through your workspace files. Sometimes you just want to open the next (or previous) file on the system. This extension makes it effortless.

Key Features

  • Navigate through your workspace: Jump to the next or previous file in the workspace, whether it's open or not.
  • Simple commands: Contributes two commands:
    • Edit next file: Opens the next file in the workspace.
    • Edit previous file: Opens the previous file in the workspace.

How Navigation Works

  • Traverse folder levels: Navigation moves through files in each folder and subfolder, level by level.
  • Wraps around the workspace: If you reach the top or bottom of the folder tree, navigation loops back to the other end, allowing for continuous file traversal.

Keybinding Suggestions

For ease of use, bind the navigation commands to keyboard shortcuts. For example:

  • Edit next file: Ctrl+Alt+Down
  • Edit previous file: Ctrl+Alt+Up
