“Open in VSCode” option

Assuming you’re on the GNOME desktop environment (the default on Ubuntu, Fedora etc), your file manager by default is Nautilus. So, you can add a script to run as an option in your context menu when you right-click a folder or file. The scripts are stored in ~/.local/share/nautilus/scripts/ folder

• Create the bash script file Open-in-VSCode.sh:

  nano ~/.local/share/nautilus/scripts/Open-in-VSCode.sh
  

• Paste below contents into the file, save it and exit. Referred from this post

  #!/usr/bin/env bash
  code ${NAUTILUS_SCRIPT_SELECTED_FILE_PATHS}
  

• Give it execution permission:

  chmod +x ~/.local/share/nautilus/scripts/Open-in-VSCode.sh
  

• Now you can see the Open-in-VSCode.sh option in the Scripts tab of the right-click menu
