Why oil.code?

Oil.nvim is a favorite plugin of mine and I find myself going back and forth between Neovim and VSCode for various projects. Being able to quickly rename or move a file is an experience I want everywhere and I want to share with the great community of VSCode and Codium users.

Odds are good that if you found this plugin, you are like me and have experienced Oil.nvim and have found yourself back in VSCode and miss oil dearly.

Other great extensions

• vsnetrw: Another great option for a split file explorer.
• VSCodeVim: Vim emulation for VSCode.
• vscode-neovim: Fully embedded neovim instance, no vim emulation.

Special thanks

Special thanks goes to oil.nvim. I still use this every day and it has way more features and is much more extensible than this plugin. If there is something Oil.nvim does that is missing here and you find it useful, let me know in the issues or open a PR.
