VSCode Advanced New File

Inspired by Sublime's AdvancedNewFile plugin, this adds the ability to create files anywhere in your workspace.

Features

• Fuzzy-matching autocomplete to create new file relative to existing path (thanks to JoeNg93 for making it faster)
• Create new directories while creating a new file
• Create a directory instead of a file by suffixing the file path with / as in somedirectory/ to create the directory (thanks to maximilianschmitt)
• Ignores gitignored and workspace files.exclude settings.
• Additional option of adding advancedNewFile.exclude settings to workspace settings just like native files.exlude except it explicitly effects AdvancedNewFile plugin only. (thanks to Kaffiend)
• Control the order of top convenient options ("last selection", "current file", etc) via config setting advancedNewFile.convenienceOptions

Configuration Example

"advancedNewFile.exclude": {
  "node_modules": true,
  "node_modules_electron": true,
  "dev": true,
  "dist": true
},
"advancedNewFile.showInformationMessages": true,
"advancedNewFile.convenienceOptions": ["last", "current", "root"]

Usage

• Command palette: "Advanced New File"
• Keyboard shortcut: cmd+alt+n (Mac), ctrl+alt+n (Win, Linux)

Keybindings

You can add your own keybinding in your keybindings.json

{
  "key": "ctrl+n", // "cmd+n" on mac
  "command": "extension.advancedNewFile",
}

Notes

Because VSCode extensions don't yet have the ability to do type-ahead autocomplete within the text input box (See https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode/issues/426), we work around this limitation and provide autocomplete using a two-step workflow of selecting existing path, then providing new filename/path relative to the selection.
