It’s something we’d like to have, but not yet implemented:

It would be nice to have a tree-like view of files or a open folder feature like… in VS Code. I've never fully liked the UX of VS Code or those text editors because it's always confusing what does the Open function (how do I open a folder? file > open? file > open folder? file > open workspace?). It should be really clear to use it (e.g. maybe just clicking in a recent folder it could be opened as file selector view in a new tab) For developers: there is a requirement, we need a cross-platform implementation of a file system listener. EDIT: This idea could be as simple as showing a File > Open Folder (or clicking a recent/pinned folder) and open a new Tab with a file list view.
