Go to Folder

Quickly navigate to any folder in your workspace using fuzzy search. No more endless scrolling through the Explorer sidebar in large codebases.

Demo

Why?

VS Code's Quick Open (Cmd+P) only searches files, not folders. In large monorepos with thousands of directories, there's no efficient way to navigate to a folder by name. This extension fills that gap.
