Explorer File Nav

Switch between files in the exact order shown in the Explorer panel.

VS Code's built-in Ctrl+PageDown only cycles between already-open editors. This extension walks the file tree in Explorer order, so you can read a project file-by-file — docs, course notes, tutorial chapters — without touching the mouse.

Features

Explorer-exact order — a folder's contents are visited in place, and when a folder ends, navigation continues at the next entry of its parent.
Respects your sort settings — explorer.sortOrder: default / mixed / filesFirst / type / modified / created, plus explorer.sortOrderLexicographicOptions: default / upper / lower.
Respects files.exclude — nothing invisible gets opened.
Follows symbolic links / junctions (with a depth guard).
Instant & workspace-size independent — no workspace-wide indexing. Each navigation only reads the directory chain from the current file up to the workspace root (typically 3–10 reads).

Commands

Command ID	Title
`explorerFileNav.next`	Explorer File Nav: 下一个文件（资源管理器顺序）
`explorerFileNav.previous`	Explorer File Nav: 上一个文件（资源管理器顺序）

No default keybindings. Bind your own, for example:

[
  { "key": "alt+]", "command": "explorerFileNav.next" },
  { "key": "alt+[", "command": "explorerFileNav.previous" }
]

Settings

Setting	Default	Description
`explorerFileNav.wrap`	`true`	Wrap around at the first / last file.
`explorerFileNav.skipExcluded`	`true`	Skip items excluded by `files.exclude` so ordering matches the Explorer.
`explorerFileNav.maxDepth`	`30`	Max recursion depth when diving into a folder (also guards against link cycles).
`explorerFileNav.showTiming`	`false`	Show navigation timing in the status bar (debugging).

Notes

Folders come first for default / type / modified / created modes, matching the Explorer. If you spot any mismatch, please open an issue and include your explorer.sortOrder value.
Only local files (file: scheme) are supported.
