A lightweight, private and secure path completion for VS Code.
Early development: this extension is still being built. Expect missing features, rough edges and breaking changes between versions.
Lightweight, private and secure by design
Built by a developer, for developers.
Lightweight: no language server, no runtime dependencies, and it starts once VS Code has finished starting. It lists a folder only when you type a path in it.
Private: no telemetry, no account, no cloud. The extension only lists your folders and checks which of the paths you write exist; it never reads your files' contents, and downloads or contacts nothing over the network.
Secure: it runs nothing, and a link opens a file only when you Ctrl+click it. URLs and ${…} templates are never read as paths.
Features
Path completion: type ./, ../, / or ~/ in a string and pick the next file or folder; a folder goes on to suggest its own entries. Paths are read from the file's own folder, as in files("../gradle/libs.versions.toml").
Clickable paths: every string that names an existing file is a link; Ctrl+click opens it.
