vscode-dired-fork is a forked File Manager (or Directory Editor) for VS Code.
This is a fork of the original vscode-dired, which is a port from Emacs dired-mode.

Keyboard-driven file management.
Open files or directories.
Create, rename, copy, move, and delete files and directories.

Toggle visibility of dotfiles.
Optional Quick Pick based input with path completion for commands like open, rename, and copy.
