When no files are found for the current file it can be hard to determine why if you know the file exists. Usually, this is a problem with the replacement in the mappings, but it can be hard to determine from the settings.json.

• Add a new command that displays a list of the matching file paths.
• Identify file paths that do have matching files.
• Update the notification from #4 to suggest running this command.

I've been looking for an extension like this for the longest time.

The to/from regex approach is ingenious, and allows for use with any language and any tech stack.

It works perfectly with a complex c# project.

Well done, and thank you! 👍

When running, if we did not find any files to open, nothing happens. It can be confusing to a user as you do not know if the command even ran.

Add a notification if we did not find any files to open, so the user knows that the command ran successfully. Also, add a setting that allows disabling the notification

How hard would it be to add functionality for "create matching test file if not exists"? My thoughts were: 1) must be bound to a different shortcut, 2) must only work one-way, from source file to test file.

I've no experience writing vscode extensions, but nonetheless tried fiddling with the code but didn't succeed. I thought that once I get the mapping from the extension's current behavior, I can use node's fs functions to create the matching test file. I guess there's more to it than that?

I'm wondering whether there's enough in the extension so far to make this possible, or I need to add a whole raft of new stuff?

This isn't an issue but I don't want to make a Microsoft account to tell you. This extension rocks! I tried a bunch of other switchers before stumbling on this one, and it's simple and elegant. Thanks for making it!
