You should consider using keyboard navigate files CTRL+P - shows list of recently opened files and it&#x27;s a fuzzy search dialog - no mouse involved.<p>My gripe with VisualStudio code file tree is that it doesn&#x27;t have icons - this is actually pretty huge for me - I use the file tree when I&#x27;m reorganizing code structure and need a good overview of things - for all it&#x27;s failings as a text editor Atom file tree is really nice with the icons addon - hopefully something like that shows up for VSCode.<p>That and YouCompleteMe for C++ and I&#x27;d switch all the way to VSCode, and I have no doubt that is going to happen so I&#x27;m just waiting now (too little time to work on it ATM otherwise I would start it)
