Overview

In a large project, related files often have similar names, but they tend to be long and tedious to type when navigating the codebase. quick-open-related-files is a VS Code extension that launches the quick open menu with the current filename pre-filled (after applying an optional set of transformations, e.g. removing the file extension).

Installation

The easiest way to install is to search for "Quick Open Related Files" in the vscode extension marketplace.

Alternatively, you can manually install using:

cd ~/.vscode/extensions/
git clone https://github.com/schreifels/vscode-quick-open-related-files.git

Usage

By default, you can list related files for the currently open file using the ⌘+. keyboard shortcut or by selecting "Quick Open Related Files" in the command palette.

You can customize the keyboard shortcut by adding this to keybindings.json:

{
  "command": "quickOpenRelatedFiles.show",
  "key": "cmd+."
}

Configuration

There are a couple options to customize how the extension manipulates the current path before pre-populating the quick open menu. See the contributes.configuration section of the package.json file for more details.
