File Explorer

The file explorer shows the directory tree for your active workspace or worktree. Focus it at any time with ⇧⌘E.

Opening files

• Single-click a file to open it in a preview tab. The tab is reused for the next file you preview, so your tab bar stays clean.
• Double-click or press Enter to open it in a permanent tab that won’t be replaced.

Creating and editing

Right-click anywhere in the tree to create a file or folder inline. You can also:

• Rename a file or folder by selecting it and pressing Enter, or right-clicking and choosing Rename.
• Delete files and folders from the right-click menu.
• Reorder entries by dragging.

File icons

Icons are language-aware. TypeScript, JavaScript, JSON, Rust, Python, Go, Vue, Markdown, and other common types each get a distinct icon so you can scan the tree without reading every filename.

Filtering

The explorer respects .gitignore by default, so build artifacts and ignored directories stay out of the tree. To hide additional paths, add glob patterns under Settings › Files.

Dropping files into the terminal

Drag a file from the explorer onto a terminal pane and Verne pastes its shell-quoted path at the cursor, feeding it to a command or agent mid-session.

Next steps

• Code Editor: open files from the explorer and edit them with Monaco and LSP.
• Settings reference: configure file-exclude patterns and other workspace options.
