    This is very cool, I wish there was some way to use it on a bicycle though. For example, when moving into a street it could ask (using voice) if this street is paved, and I could a…

    I have also been using it for a couple of months and it is great. Most other software that try to emulate a tiling window manager in windows/linux end up being too buggy and annoyi…

    Yeah I got exited thinking this is about traffic lights. I use a bike to commute to work and recently I was thinking if I could adjust my cycling cadence so that I never hit a red …

    > If you need complex file manipulation, all of that can be achieved by writing a shell script. That's what I've been doing. You also automatically get access to flow control state…

    > Regarding your last point, for the vast majority of open source SW releases, we can never be sure if the release we get is produced from the same code we see. I do not know if th…

    That's so cool, I was actually curious about history of such programs. Thanks for posting this :)

    I doubt this comment was in good faith (you decided to ignore literally all the features I mentioned and focused on just creating files) but I am going to reply anyway: 1. There is…

    What are you proposing? Should I not be allowed to develop and publish an extension that I think is useful? > nobody will do that "nobody" is a strong word. Yes, most people don't …

    You can view the source code and package the extension yourself if you are worried about that. It is only ~2000 LOC. It is not easy to get verified in vscode marketplace, even majo…

    Thanks for the feedback. Can you be a little more specific? What do you mean by "raw"? Do you mean from an aesthetic standpoint or is there some functionality you are missing from …

    Since voil uses its own file extension (.voil) you can easily disable copilot for voil windows. Also voil asks you to confirm destructive actions. And even if you do, by default vo…

    I obviously love oil.nvim and that's why I ported it to vscode. But I think in some ways voil is even more powerful than oil. Specifically: - It can work across multiple vscode win…

    I don't use emacs so I may not be familiar with the full power, but if you are referring to dired, I think oil.nvim is much, much more powerful than dired. The major difference bei…

    Well, the internet is not national anymore (for now!), but isn't Google AI Mode US only? Anyway, the only google service that did work at that time was google search as far as I kn…

    Show HN: VS Code extension to edit the filesystem like a text buffer

    This is a spiritual adaptation of oil.nvim for vscode. The main idea is you edit the filesystem by editing the current directory listing's text buffer. For example, if I want to re…
