VSCode :: How can I duplicate directories and files from within the file explorer?
Ideally, I would right-click on the folder/directory or file I want to duplicate, choose "Duplicate" and, hopefully, would be asked in the same step to give the new duplicated file or directory a new name.
Looking at the current options, I couldn't find a way to do this on latest VSCode 1.19.1 (macOS):
Am I missing something? Is there other way to do this?
The more I use VSCode, the more I get used to it and, lately, I found myself barely needing to use the terminal provided in the Panel, or switching to a terminal app, for simple stuff like this.
How about the good old CTRL+C and CTRL+V?
I just tried. If you click on a file then press CTRL+C, and then CTRL+V then you get a duplicate of the file named [original name] copy.[ext]
It's a mystery, though, why the duplicate file option is still not on the right-click menu after so many years.
A little warning: doing this will remove the content of the clipboard. So if you are in the middle of a copy-paste cycle, then make sure to save the clipboard content somewhere. Yes, it's inconvenient, but until MS decides to put in this basic action in the context menu (right-click) we need to deal with it.
