Features

  • Blazing Fast Performance: Instant path completion suggestions as you type.
  • Custom Path Aliases: Define custom mapping rules directly in your VS Code settings.
  • Flexible Exclusion: Keep your completions clean by filtering out build folders, binary files, or ignored directories.
  • Image Mini Preview: Inline image thumbnail preview. (Comming soon)
  • Automatic tsconfig.json & jsconfig.json Support: Automatically parses compilerOptions.paths to resolve project path aliases without manual configuration. (Comming soon)

Usage

  1. Open any supported file.
  2. Type ./, ../, or a configured alias (e.g., @/) inside a string literal or import statement.
  3. Select your path from the completion list.
