Swap Header Source

A Visual Studio Code extension to quickly swap between C++ header and source files.

I made this extension for personal use out of frustration at how slow the builtin C/C++ swapping functionality is for larger projects.

Existing extensions doing the same thing weren't quite as fast as I would have liked them to be.

I am releasing this extension in hopes that someone else will find it useful.

Features

Swap between header/source files with:

• Alt+O
• Ctrl+Shift+P (Cmd+Shift+P on Mac) -> Swap Header/Source

If multiple valid swaps candidates are found, a quick picker prompt lets you decide which file to swap to.

Results are cached so subsequent swaps are lightning fast.

Extension Settings

• swapHeaderSource.headerExtensions: Specify which file extensions qualify as header files
• swapHeaderSource.sourceExtensions: Specify which file extensions qualify as source files
• swapHeaderSource.disableCaching: Disable caching if you prefer
