VSCodeVim Keybindings
To make - open an explorer from any file (like vim-vinegar) add the following binding to your vim.normalModeKeyBindings.
{
"before": ["-"],
"commands": ["vsnetrw.open"],
"when": "editorLangId != vsnetrw"
}
This binding can't be provided as part of the extension because native VSCode's keybindings will accidentally trigger in undesirable instances (e.g. pressing r- in normal mode).
Installation
vsnetrw can be installed from the VSCode Marketplace.
You can also download a VSIX from releases and install it by running >Extensions: Install from VSIX.
