SpeedyOpener for VSCode

SpeedyOpener allows the user to replace the standard behaviour for "Open file..." with a smart navigator shown natively in Visual Studio Code.

Features

SpeedyOpener currently offers the following features:

  • adds the "SpeedyOpener" command in the VSCode Command Palette
    • shows a prompt that allows filesystem navigation with fuzzy completion
    • files are opened in new tabs

Requirements

None! Should work out of the box.

Extension Settings

There is no configuration for SpeedyOpener as of the latest release.

Known Issues

SpeedyOpener is currently in alpha!

  • While a small subset of unit tests is actively maintained, SpeedyOpener is far from being thoroughly tested in real world usecases.
  • SpeedyOpener has been developed and tested on macOS. The code should have been written in a portable way, but so far no testing has happened on Windows/Linux installations.
