Full Path

 ⚠️ This article is written for Mac OS.

It’s nice to see where the thing your looking at is located in the filesystem.

This will show the full path in the Finder’s folder titlebar:

defaults write com.apple.finder _FXShowPosixPathInTitle -bool true
killall Finder

This will show the full path in VS Code:

Settings » Window » Title » ${activeEditorLong}

It’s nice to put the root folder at the end in case you have multiple configs from different projects open when running a diff:

Settings » Window » Title » ${activeEditorLong}${separator}${rootName}
