Tree View
Usage
Trello boards, lists, and cards appears in left Side Bar.
Clicking a board or list expands or collapses object.
Clicking a card opens the markdown file as well as the previewer, opening this to the right side (editor column 2 by default).
Clicking on the 'star' icon to the right of a list assigns this as your "favourite list", shown in the lower part of the side bar.
Clicking on the icons in the side bar runs various commands, such as setting credentials, removing credentials, showing saved info, and refreshing views.
Click the 'plus' icon to add a card to the selected list.
Right click on a card to see options for card, such as assigning a user, editing the title or description, and archive card.
