File Preview

VS Code extension that displays an arbitary file preview in a sidebar or panel

The preview in the sidebar

The preview in the panel

Features

  • Watches for file changes, no manual refreshes required
  • Convenient button to edit the file (creating if necessary)
  • Defaults to TODO.md, but changeable to any filename in settings
  • This is designed mainly to keep TODO.md visible, but I'm happy to take pull requests for feature additions if they're ~in scope

Configuration

  • preview.previewView.filename — Override default filename
