ADCode

Path autocomplete

When you are typing the name of another file, it offers you the files that are really there.

When you would want it

A mistyped path is a broken import, and the error it causes names the wrong thing surprisingly often. Being offered only files that exist makes the mistake impossible.

Where to find it

  • All Features → Path autocomplete
  • Settings → adcode.editing.pathAutocomplete

How to use it, step by step

On by default.

  1. Start typing a path inside quotes or an import and the list appears.
  2. Type / to go into a folder.

Why this beats the usual way

Other editors give you this through a stack of extensions that each need installing, updating, and reconciling with each other - and half of them reset when a colleague opens the project. ADCode ships these behaviours in the box, on by default, identical on every machine that opens your folder, and each one is a single switch away if you disagree.
