Paste folder (and file) paths into VS Code's integrated terminal via the Explorer context menu.
Why?
VS Code lets you drag & drop files into the terminal to paste their paths, but folders are not supported due to an internal design limitation (DataTransfers.RESOURCES filters out directories). This extension fills that gap with a simple right-click menu.

Right-click a folder in the Explorer → "Paste Path to Terminal"
Works for files too (configurable)
Automatically quotes paths containing spaces
Creates a new terminal if none is active
