In windows, we have an option: adding "Open with code" action to context menu, this allows us to open any file or folder with VS Code.
Is there any way to add this feature in Ubuntu?

Run
wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/harry-cpp/code-nautilus/master/install.sh | bash
Just run this in your terminal, and it will add open with VS Code in context menu for Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.
Edit: Works as well for Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, 20.10 and 22.04 LTS.

What you need to do is install Nautilus Actions
sudo apt install nautilus-actions
and add new action :
Path: code
Parameters: %B
NOTE ❗ ❗ Modern version of Nautilus Actions (nautilus-actions package in trusty (14.04 LTS), xenial (16.04 LTS), artful (17.10)) are named as FileManager Actions (filemanager-actions package, it is not yet packaged in Debian and Ubuntu - see at repology.org).
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:daniel-marynicz/filemanager-actions
sudo apt-get install filemanager-actions-nautilus-extension
NOTE 2 As of Ubuntu 19.04, the package is filemanager-actions.
sudo apt-get install filemanager-actions

If you're on 20.10 and you're running this script:
wget -qO- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cra0zy/code-nautilus/master/install.sh | bash`
You'll need to install python3-nautilus
because python-nautilus
isn't in non-LTS versions of Ubuntu.
Simply install the python3 version of python-nautilus
sudo apt install python3-nautilus
Then restart nautilus (this will close all nautilus folders)
nautilus -q && nautilus &
And it should work.
I was able to find this vscode extension for nautilus written by Crazy0 that lets you do this.
The steps can be found in that github gist, which are:
And do the following (also found in the head section of that gist):
~/.local/share/nautilus-python/extensions/
, restrart Nautilus, and enjoy :)mkdir -p ~/.local/share/nautilus-python/extensions && cp -f VSCodeExtension.py ~/.local/share/nautilus-python/extensions/VSCodeExtension.py && nautilus -q
Just tested on Ubuntu Bionic and it works great.
1.Create a file ~/.local/share/nautilus/scripts/open-in-code.sh with this content:
#!/bin/bash
if [ -n "$NAUTILUS_SCRIPT_SELECTED_FILE_PATHS" ]; then
set $NAUTILUS_SCRIPT_SELECTED_FILE_PATHS
if [ $# -eq 1 ]; then
destination="$1"
else
zenity --error --title="Error - Open in Visual Studio Code" \
--text="You can only select one file/directory."
exit 1
fi
else
destination="`echo "$NAUTILUS_SCRIPT_CURRENT_URI" | sed 's/^file:\/\///'`"
fi
# It's only possible to go to local directories
if [ -n "`echo "$destination" | grep '^[a-zA-Z0-9]\+:'`" ]; then
zenity --error --title="Error - Open in Visual Studio Code" \
--text="Only local directories can be used."
exit 1
fi
exec code "$destination"
2.Add execution permission to the file:
$ chmod +x ~/.local/share/nautilus/scripts/open-in-code.sh
3.Restart Nautilius.
4.Right-click on a file or directory, you will see this:

also if you use VSCodium you can install my version of "python3-nautilus"
