I'd settle for a stable release that can rename files without tricky shit like sending it to Windows Explorer to rename or like having to close and restart the editor.

Can this be a conflict with extensions? If so then we get into WordPress madness disabling all "plugins" and reenabling until the offending plugin is discovered: or not.

Can you elaborate?

Every feature listed here in this article already exists since the very early versions of VSCode.

What extensions do you use? It's possible that there're keybinding conflicts. Check this out for detecting conflicts - code.visualstudio.com/docs/getstar...

What's to elaborate? From time to time VSCode will not rename a file in a workspace. This issue has been found by googling but no clear reason or solution as of late.

I've found this Managing Extensions document code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/...

I have way too many extensions installed and its time to play the WordPress game.

I have never encountered file renaming issues (I use stable release on macOS, Linux, and insider on Windows, all with 40+ extensions, from syntax highlighters to diagram generators), but it's always a good idea to install as few extensions as possible since they can affect startup time as well. Always know your needs, and what you are installing. :)

You can always submit an issue to the VSCode project on GitHub.
