    • go to settings: This will direct you to the extension's settings page, where you can proceed with the manual configuration process.
  3. Search for FolderFly: Open Folder. Now, the command should display the contents of your designated default folder.

Manuel configuration:

  1. In the VS Code settings page, search for folderfly.required.folderPath

Tips:

  • Keep in mind that projects must include a Git folder for the extension to identify it as a valid project.
  • If you'd like to bind the main command to a hotkey, open up your keyboard shortcut settings and bind folderfly.openFolder to a custom keybinding.
  • For optimal use of the extension and to minimize manual navigation, it's advisable to centralize all your projects within a single main folder with subfolders, and then direct the extension to this main folder.
