Bring the native Windows Explorer right-click menu directly into VS Code.
Right-click a file or folder in VS Code and open the real Windows context
menu for it — the same one you get in File Explorer, including every entry
added by other apps you have installed (TortoiseSVN, 7-Zip, "Open with…",
"Properties", and so on). No need to leave the editor to reach the tools you
already use.
How to use
Right-click a file or folder in the Explorer, or right-click an
editor tab.
Choose Show Windows Context Menu.
The native Windows menu pops up at your cursor. Pick any item — it runs
exactly as it would in File Explorer.
You can also select multiple files in the Explorer first, then open the menu to
act on all of them at once.
Requirements
Windows desktop only. The command is hidden on macOS and Linux, and the
extension does not run in VS Code for the Web.
Good to know
The menu shown is Windows' classic context menu — the complete one (the
same as "Show more options" on Windows 11). This is intentional: it contains
all third-party entries, which the compact Windows 11 menu hides.
When you select files from different folders, the native menu is shown
for the items in the first folder only.
