I have a Visual Studio Code project with lots of files in lots of subfolders. As I am working on my code I need to navigate back and forth through all of these different (sub-)locations which is very tedious. Is there a way to save links to files to quickly access them?

CodePudding user response：

With the extension HTML Related Links you can create a file with relative paths to files and have a Related Links View in the Explorer bar. This View can be locked to the file with the links.

1. Create a file in the workspace root: filelinks.txt

   file: subdir1/file1.py
   file: subdir1/file2.py
   file: subdir2/file3.json
   file: subdir2/file4.xml
   

   You can add line numbers at the end of the filepath: @123

2. Add the following setting:

   "html-related-links.include": {
       "plaintext": [
         { "find": "file:\\s ((?!.*?@). ?)" },
         { "find": "file:\\s ((?=.*?@). ?)@(\\d )", "lineNr": "$2" }
       ]
     }
   

3. When you view the file filelinks.txt, press the lock button in the the Related Links View

4. When you add or remove files the view is updated.
