Vscode-live-server: Multi-root Workspace support
When running multi-root workspaces with 2 or more folders, launching Live Server would only display files from the 1st folder. How can we access the other folder directory to view a file?

As of now, Multi root is not supported.
[May be I've to work more for enabling multi root feature - BUT I AM TOTALLY BUSY DUE TO MY EXAM]

Quick workaround: Go to workspace settings and quickly reorder the folders using Alt-[Up/Down] to move the lines. This way you can quickly select another of your worspace folders to be the active one for Live Server.
PS I'm a newbie in Visual Studio Code so feel free to suggest an even quicker way to do this. I.e., a macro to move the current folder to be the first folder?
