Question: 1. I have an open folder in VSCode, eg `/folders/project1`, this is my workspace.
2. I want to add a file from outside of this folder, eg `/media/files/file1`.

I wish there was a VSCode command that displays a file picker that I can select any file on my computer's memory, and that file ends up in a folder opened as workspace.

For example:
3. In VSCode select the file `/media/files/file1` and it lands in workspace as `/folders/project1/file1`

How to do it? I can't find anything.

Of course I know I can do this manually in the file manager, but I want to do it without leaving VSCode.

Answer: 
You can use [PowerToys](https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys) from Microsoft. One of the toys Keyboard Manager is made just for what you are looking for:

Select the key that should be remapped plus the key that should take its place. Click `OK`. That's it.

Sure, you can use a scripting language named AutoHotKey for creating custom hotkeys and remapping one keys to another. You can find tutorial and documentation in their [official website](https://www.autohotkey.com/docs/Tutorial.htm).
