use fuzzy find to open folder about fuzzy-finder HOT 7 CLOSED

I think it'd still be very cool if the fuzzy finder displayed folders, too, and focus in tree-view as OP suggests. Or at least if query ends in /.

Use case: you know the name of target folder but can't quickly recall any file that's in it.

I also want to focus a folder by searching it in fuzzy-finder. When there are a lot of folders, sometimes I do not only need find file but also folder.

Not sure I understand what you mean by open folder. Do you mean open all files in that folder in separate tabs in the editor, or focus that folder in the tree view?

i mean focus the folder in the treeview

In my case, i wanted to create a new file, but don't want to:
create new file
save as
Find the right folder

This seams slower to me.

What i wanted to do is
"open the folder" (focus it in tree view)
right click on the folder
new file

Maybe it's not the best way to solve the "issue".
If you have better sugestion, i will be happy to read it.

@benzen Thanks for clarifying and sorry for the delay in getting back to you.

How about the following approach to do the same thing:

1. Trigger the Tree View: Reveal Active File command (cmd-shift-\). This will focus the tree view on the file you're looking at.
2. Trigger the Tree View: Add File command (a). This will create the Add File dialog to add a file in the directory where the current file is.

So, a combination of cmd-shift-\ and then a gives you what you want, if I understood your question correctly. Would such an approach work for you?

Thanks that would pretty much do the trick,
i wasn't even aware of the fact that there is keyboard command on the
tree-view.

thanks

Great, happy that works for you! +Yeah, there's a bunch of keybindings for the tree view -- just search for "Tree view" in the Command palette when the tree view is focused. Or just take a look here.

Closing this issue then 😄
