🔎 (Draft!) VSCode extension to show the search results in a tree view
🔎 (Draft!) VSCode extension to show the search results in a tree view
The work on this extension is on-pause for now since VSCode team has put the #20224 issue into their "Aug-2022 iteration" #157454 to "Explore showing search results as a tree view". If this will be done in a VSCode core it would be ideal solution and this extension won't be needed.
Currently, the search results in VSCode cannot be grouped in a Tree View structure. See https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/20224.
Let me quote some folks:
Add a possibility to show search results in a tree view, for faster and less overwhelming information lookup.
The code is super-raw, not optimized and not tested. Basically it is not ready to be published as of now.
However, here is what was done currently
Cmd+Shift+P
: "Search Tree: Search"Ctrl+Shift+F
Search results as a List | Search results as a Tree |
---|---|
It is not clear (not possible, or at least not documented) how to do the following:
Ctrl+Shift+F
Install dependencies
npm install
Run the extension in the development mode in VSCode
"Run and Debug" → "Run Extension"
