Isidor Nikolic (@isidorn) Actually I do have searched before posting this issue, after closure of this issue as duplicate and again a while ago using the label you mentioned. And yet unable to find any other issue requesting same feature. The closest thing I got is #6328 requesting "file nesting" which is a different feature.

Why is the Team so reticent on implementing that feature? It's very well waited by the community and just a few dozen lines of code, heck, it even has been pull requested multiple times...
Please don't make "clever" UI hacks like this default in the future. It's seemingly impossible to create a new folder on a new project, and then get to the root level folder to edit files. Clicking on the root of the project doesn't fix anything, even though it's underlined.
I'm all for a customizable IDE, but the amount of time wasted trying to figure out what config file to undo things like this is really frustrating. It should not be a default.

Isidor Nikolic (@isidorn) Please mention the other issue with same request, so that I can at least put my vote there.

Gulshan (@gulshan) please use our issue search. I would do the same, use the files-explorer tag to narrow down the search. Thanks

Now that this has been implemented, does that mean that #6328 will be next?
joaomoreno commentedon Nov 6, 2019
ExE Boss (@ExE-Boss) Unfortunately it doesn't mean that.
