Shortcut to open a project in Visual Studio Code directly from windows explorer view

To open a certain project you often do the following :- Locate VS Code shortcut and open it, then click on open project and then navigate to the project folder and then open it.

What if I told you there’s a shortcut which I discovered a while ago and I’ve been using it ever since. Just navigate to project folder and in the address bar type this

cmd /k code .

#Tip : you can also press Ctrl + L to highlight the address bar and start typing (also works in chrome)

#TIP : You can also run any command using "cmd /k" in the address bar. I use this extensively to store shortcuts in desktop and run commands easily. I hope you find this tip useful 🙂
