File Management

Conductore includes a file browser and editor accessible from the right sidebar.

File tree

Open the Files tab in the right sidebar to see a file tree rooted at the active project's directory.

Features:

• Expand/collapse directories
• Search/filter files by name in the search bar at the top
• Click any file to open a preview in the main terminal area
• Supported file types: text, code, markdown, JSON, YAML, CSV, images

File preview

Click a file in the tree to open the File Preview Panel in the terminal area. The preview shows:

• File path and size
• Syntax-highlighted content (using the terminal's monospace font)
• Read-only by default

Files larger than 200 KB are shown truncated. Binary files show a "binary file" notice.

Inline editing

Click the Edit button in the preview panel header to switch to edit mode. The file content loads into a <textarea> with the same monospace styling.

Saving: Ctrl+S saves the file. An asterisk (*) in the panel title indicates unsaved changes.

Cancelling: Press Escape or click Cancel to discard changes and return to read mode.

Opening in external editor

Click Open in Editor to open the file in your configured external editor (VSCode, Neovim, etc.). Configure the editor command in Settings → Editor.

Drag & drop to terminal

Drag any file from the file tree onto a terminal pane. Conductore pastes the absolute file path into the terminal at the cursor position.

Drag a folder to paste the folder path instead.
