Open file by Url

[sadiqhabib]

Describe the Feature Open file by its url. It is more convenient to open file with url instead drag and drop.

If you mean open a file without having to use the mouse (same workflow as **File Utils: Rename** or **File Utils: Move**) I could not agree more.

would be really nice to have. It's actuallz surprising that it does not exist yet with the initial set of tools.

Yes its easy to open file like shortcut key/command -> dropdown list -> chose file -> open file

Hi @sadiqhabib could you describe the expected behaviour in more detail?

[sadiqhabib]

I found ctrl+e shortcut key to do the same. But my idea was you can open file using url eg Press ctrl+e navigate to file press enter

@sadiqhabib Do you mean to be able to paste the URL of a file in the prompt, then VSCode would fetch its content for you and create a new file with said content?

[sadiqhabib]

sometimes we need to open some files in our projects, so we have 2 options 1: navigate to that file on left panel then double click to open that 2: use shortcut key ie F12 but that url must be written on some file. But idea is open file by url which we provide on opened prompt.
