Drop into editor API finalised

[isidorn]

The text editor drop API lets extensions handle dropping of files or other content into text editors. These drop events can come from within VS Code, such as dragging a file from VS Code's Explorer into a text editor, or can be generated by dropping a file from your operating system into VS Code.

To drop a file into an editor, users can hold down Shift while dragging and then drop the file to a specific location in the file. At this point, your extension can choose what to do with the dropped data.

Check out the drop into editor extension sample for a simple example of this API in action.

Try out this API and let us know what you think about it. Thanks!

Hi,
Is it possible to drop a TreeViewItem into a CustomTextEditor (ie WebView) ?

[isidorn]

No.

[FredLL-Avaiga]

Is it in the plan somehow ?

Do I understand correctly that it is not possible to use this with anything other than a plain, standard TextEditor? I.e., you cannot drag into a CustomTextEditor, let alone a CustomEditor?
