How do I open or close a folder without reloading the entire Visual Studio Code?

It is possible to open or close folder in VSCode without reload?

It a little strange that program must have reload if we just open folder....

In addition, this is a problem if you have previously opened other tabs without any folder

I have some habits from Sublime, where it wasn't a big problem. I just opened the folder and it was added - nothing simpler. I can't understand this behavior

Solution

I have a response from their Github repo

Unfortunately

Currently not possible
