Dropover for VS Code

Adds an Add to Dropover item to the VS Code file explorer's right-click menu. Clicking it runs:

open -a Dropover -- /path/to/file /path/to/another

The whole selection is passed to a single open call, so multi-selecting files drops them onto one Dropover shelf rather than creating one shelf per file.

Written in TypeScript, compiled with tsc to dist/. No runtime dependencies.

What it contributes

Surface Where it shows up
explorer/context Right-click a file or folder in the explorer
editor/title/context Right-click an editor tab
Command palette "Add to Dropover", acting on the active editor

All three are gated on isMac since Dropover and the open command are macOS only.

Install

Symlink the folder into the VS Code extensions directory, then reload the window:

ln -s "$PWD" ~/.vscode/extensions/dropover

Then run Developer: Reload Window from the command palette. Editing extension.js in this repo and reloading picks the changes straight up.

For VS Code Insiders use ~/.vscode-insiders/extensions instead.

To install it as a real versioned extension:

npx @vscode/vsce package
code --install-extension dropover-0.0.2.vsix
