Adding "vscode" option like how typing "cmd" works in Windows File Explorer path bar

48 views Asked by At

Windows File Explorer path bar By typing cmd or powershell to the Windows File Explorer path bar (the photo above), you can open cmd or powershell in the current path your File Explorer is in.

But how about vscode? Can I add this vscode to the path bar keywords so I can type vscode, press enter and quickly open Visual Studio Code in the directory the File Explorer is in? If so, how? Some registry magic?

Just found out that by typing code.cmd ., you can do the thing that I wanna do exactly.

code.cmd . is too long? Got you covered! Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft VS Code\bin (This is default path, yours might be different)

Copy the code.cmd to code.bat

And you can now type code to the path bar of the File Explorer and do the samething easier :D

P.S.: You can also change code.bat to something else like vscode.bat and you can type vscode to the path bar to do the samething :DDD
