Installing the command-line executable

Assuming you have Rust/Cargo installed, run this command in a terminal:

cargo install codep

It will make the codep command available in your PATH if you've allowed the PATH to be modified when installing Rust. cargo uninstall codep uninstalls.

Back to the crate overview.

Readme

code-pick-rs

Input for e.g. rofi for selecting an entry from a list of recently opened folders/files or a list of workspaces to be opened in vscode. The recent folders/files are extracted from ~/.config/Code/User/globalStorage/storage.json and the workspaces from ~/.config/Code/User/workspaceStorage. Please feel free to write an issue, if something doesn't output as expected...

Install

cargo install codep

cargo install --path .

Usage

I use it as a bind in my hyperland.conf with rofi:

bind = $mainMod SHIFT, C, exec, ~/.cargo/bin/codep -a recent \
    | rofi -dmenu \
    | xargs -r -I {} code --new-window "{}"
bindr = $mainMod&CTRL&SHIFT, C, exec, \
    ~/.cargo/bin/codep -ap workspaces -D -M 365 \
        | rofi -dmenu -markup-rows -display-columns 2 \
        | awk -F '\t' '{print $1}' \
        | xargs -r -I {} code --folder-uri "{}"

codep --help for more info!
