OSX: Ever wish you could right click on a folder in finder and 'Open in VSCODE'?... Well now you can
And it's entirely free and easy to do! Here's how!
Open up Automator. ( It comes standard in osx ).
It'll promp you to select a type. Click on Quick action. Now select Folders in finder.
In the search bar, search for Apple Script, and drag and drop it into the screen on the right.
Next, type in the applescript to match the photo.
Save it and call it whatever you like. I named it 'Open in VS Code'. I believe what you name it is how it will appear. you can also choose your own icon.
Entirely optional but you can also create your own hotkey binding if you like by going to System Settings/Preferences > Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts > Services > Files and Folders > and ensuring that 'Open in VS Code' is checked. then to assign a key binding, click on the none to the right and type in your key binding.
Now right click on any project folder, click on quick actions. and enjoy your new Shortcut!
