Vscode: Allow to define workbench.action.quickOpenView order

[zhangwilling]

Machine: MacPro 2016
OS：Catalina 10.15.2
vscode: 1.44.0

I found workbench.action.quickOpenView would focus on Search in Side Bar at latest version (1.44.0) by default, although the first item was Explorer.

I also tried to drag sidebar's item order in ActivityBar, but the order of items in quickOpenView -> Side Bar not changed.

Previous versions always focused on the first item(Explorer), that's what i really want.

so, i want a feature to define quickOpenView's order.

( Maybe it was a little bug at latest version ?)

workbench.action.quickOpenView is meant to be used via keybindings only with the idea that you bring up the picker and release the keys to automatically pick the entry. As such all of these focus the second item by default.

The command you want to use instead is: workbench.action.quickOpenView

thanks for your response.

But my case is when Search (other items) is visible, i will use quickOpenView and release immediately to pick the first one (Explorer). If i want the second, i will use picker (workbench.action.quickOpenNavigateNextInViewPicker) .

Now i must show quickOpenView first, then use workbench.action.quickOpenNavigatePreviousInViewPicker to select the first (Explorer).

Explorer is most often used, so i want select it when i open quickOpenView and release without any quickOpen navigation.

Here is my settings. I just want cmd + 3 to do all thing, u may understand this change caused
some trouble to me.

thanks for reopening.

I define a special shortcut key for Explorer temporarily. 😊

I decided to revert back to how it was and now Explorer will always be the first entry: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/95448

My current method is ctrl + q to pop up the view, and then ctrl + shift + q to return to the Explorer.I want to die
