vscode-dired's Issues

Possible to open the highlighted file

How can I open the file highlighted? I hit "enter" and it's not opening.

I'm on Windows 7.

file cache is unix specific

This works for Unix only but easy to be cross-platform

vscode-dired/src/idResolver.ts

Line 25 in 8b27e23

path = '/etc/passwd';

Up Directory not working

Thanks for writing this plugin. Dired is one of the things i miss in VS Code.

I am using Ubuntu 14.04.

When I run Dired, it loads the directory of the file I am in (correct)

When I press Shift-B, the path at the top of the screen goes up one level (correct) but the directory listing does not refresh as expected.

Pressing g to refresh does not load the new path shown.

Using arrow keys to navigate to .. and pressing enter or space does not go up one level as expected.

As a bonus, it would be nice to have ^ mapped to up directory, same as Emacs.

Additionally, if I run Dired without having a file selected, the plugin fails to start. I would expect it to the folder selected in the sidebar, or if not in the file explorer, go to my home directory.

Again, thanks for writing this fantastic plugin, it's an essential addition I think.

goUpDir unix specific ?

in https://github.com/shirou/vscode-dired/blob/master/src/provider.ts#L109 , the test seems to be unix specific. On windows, there are multiple roos with multiple names like c:

Steals Ctrl-X

I've found that the plugin overloads ctrl-x (I'm guessing by waiting for C-x f to open Dired).

This breaks Cut for regular users -- VS Code is waiting for a chord completion, and not processing C-x as cut.

Thanks for your work.

Rename (`R`) not working on macOS

Everything works as expected, including the notification of successful change, until I actually go to verify the name change. The file name is unchanged.

Can not open files in WSL2 sessions

When connected to a WSL2 issue I can browse directories but trying to open a file gives me

[UriError]: If a URI does not contain an authority component, then the path cannot begin with two slash characters ("//")

I need this extension so badly, I'm half tempted to try and learn how to code visual studio extensions :). Many thanks for what you've done so far!

VSC 1.67.2 running on Windows 11, accessing WSL2

Needs a sort

Nice extension. Indeed, I want to open/pick files the same way in windows, linux and MacOS.

May be a better one than dired :

s s by size
s c by creation date
s m by modificaton date
s e by extension name

adding `createFileOrOpen` option?

Thanks a lot for making this. I feel painful with VSCode file manager and this is efficient.

However, so far we cannot easily create files using vscode-dired without mouse, especially when the file tree gets large.

For my case, I disable auto focusing the folder of the focused document, so creating files in specific folder requires me to use mouse, which is painful.

wdired

It would be awesome to provide wdired support 😉

Dangling symlinks reported as an error.

Issue regarding responsiveness

Hi, thank you very much for your work on this. I really appreciate it.

I had to disable the extension because for some reason, using it alongside emacs-mcx (awesome emacs keybindings extension), made vs code very slow and hot keys were noticeably delayed (for example, Ctrl-K followed quickly by Ctrl-Y took a few seconds to activate).

Disabling this extension restored responsiveness, so I wanted to see if this was something that was already known or if it's just malarkey, you can close this issue :) Thank you very much again!

Cannot invoke dired

First, thank you for creating this extension.
I have looked many times for a dired port for VS Code or Atom!

After installing vscode-dired,
When I do
C-x f

dired doesn't appear.
I also do not see it in the command palette.

Do I also need to first install any particular Emacs key bindings extension?

よろしくお願いします

Nature of files not shown in dired editors

The emacs dired shows when a file is a symlink, a block device,
and so on
vscode-dired does not

RFE : Needs default choices to start dired

Working on it.
What I got so far.
