UnitySelect

UnitySelect is a Visual Studio Code extension that allows you to easily select assets in Unity directly from VSCode.

Features

  • Use the command palette or a keyboard shortcut to select the asset of the currently open file in Unity.

Installation

  1. Install the extension from the Visual Studio Code Marketplace.
  2. Configure the port number used to communicate with Unity if different from the default 50000.
  3. Follow the instructions in https://github.com/veyselerCS/UnitySelect-Unity for the Unity side.

Usage

Selecting an Asset from the Explorer

  2. Choose "Select in Unity" from the context menu.
  3. The corresponding asset will be highlighted in the Unity Editor.

Selecting an Asset from the Editor

  1. Open a file in the VSCode editor.
  2. Use the command palette (Ctrl+Shift+P or Cmd+Shift+P on Mac) and type "Select in Unity from Editor".
  3. Alternatively, use the default keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Alt+U to trigger the command.
  4. The corresponding asset will be highlighted in the Unity Editor.
