Shortcuts

Customize these in Keyboard Shortcuts by searching for Projects Switch. Add Project and Refresh Projects are available in the Command Palette.

Configuration

Set the directories to scan in VS Code settings:

{
  "projectsSwitch.projects.scanRoots": [
    "$WORKSPACE"
  ],
  "projectsSwitch.projects.excludes": [
    "**/archived/**"
  ],
  "projectsSwitch.projects.maxDepth": 4
}

• scanRoots: absolute directories, optionally using environment variables. $WORKSPACE must be an environment variable available to VS Code, not the currently opened folder. Relative paths, ~, and filesystem roots are not supported.
• excludes: directory patterns to skip.
• maxDepth: maximum scan depth; the scan root is depth 0.

Moving from DevHop

Install sunzhongyi.projects-switch and uninstall DevHop. Copy any projectSwitcher.projects.* settings to projectsSwitch.projects.*. Recently visited and manually added projects are not transferred. Branch switching is handled by VS Code’s built-in Source Control Checkout.
