Project Picker

Project Picker is a UI extension for opening projects from the local machine when the current VS Code window is connected to a remote environment such as a Dev Container or SSH host.

Commands

• File: Open Project... lists configured local project directories.
• File: Create and Open New Folder creates a local folder and opens it.

Press Enter to open a project in the current window. Press Cmd+Enter on macOS, or Ctrl+Enter on Windows and Linux, to open it in a new window.

Project directories are configured with vscode-project-picker.openProject.directories. The extension supports recursive discovery, Git repository/worktree filters, date-formatted paths, and Dev Container entries.

Settings from the former project picker in Extended Actions are read as a fallback, so existing vscode-extended-actions.openProject.* settings continue to work while you migrate to the new namespace.
